Uncovering Inequities: Examining Police Tactics at Campus Protests and the Evolution of Public Order Strategies in the Wake of George Floyd
Police Response to Campus Protests Amid Gaza Conflict
Source: CNN
Universities and colleges across the nation are facing protests over Israel's assault on Gaza, leading them to seek police intervention to clear their campuses. Since mid-April, thousands have been arrested, sparking scrutiny over law enforcement's response.
Videos capturing the confrontations between police and protesters show a range of tactics used to disperse demonstrators from school buildings and dismantle on-campus encampments, some of which turned violent.
Civil rights groups have condemned what they perceive as an excessive police reaction, with officers in riot gear resorting to rubber bullets, chemical irritants, and pepper balls. Law enforcement agencies defend their actions as balancing protesters' First Amendment rights with upholding the law and ensuring safety.
Experts in law enforcement note the disparities in police tactics nationwide, highlighting variations in training and understanding of best practices for handling protests and crowd control.
Despite the criticisms, experts acknowledge that police have shown restraint in using force, attributing this to lessons learned from the George Floyd protests four years ago, which were more intense and prolonged.
Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum, emphasized the impact of the 2020 protests on police response to demonstrations, stating that law enforcement was unprepared for the level of violence encountered.
Since mid-April, over 2,000 individuals have been arrested on US campuses amidst debates on the right to protest, free speech limits, and accusations of antisemitism. Protesters at various universities have called for divestment from companies supporting Israel and an end to the assault on Gaza.
The crackdown on protesters has led to clashes and standoffs with police, resulting in canceled or modified graduation ceremonies and heightened security measures on campuses.
Recent Campus Protests and Police Response
In a recent incident at Columbia University, NYPD officers, equipped with riot gear, intervened to remove pro-Palestinian student protesters from a barricaded building. This action took place on April 30, highlighting the ongoing tensions on college campuses.
Police Actions at Various Universities
At Columbia University, the New York Police Department was requested to stay on campus until May 17 following a confrontation where officers used heavy-duty tools to breach a building occupied by protesters. Similarly, at the University of Arizona, police resorted to pepper balls and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrators. UCLA also witnessed law enforcement firing rubber bullets to regain control of an encampment site.

After three days the Oss firefighters are still busy putting out the fire
Firefighters are still busy putting out the fire at the building of the logistics company Vice Versa. A major fire broke out in a cold storage room early Friday morning. Some residents in the area still cannot sleep indoors due to the smoke or stench.
Firefighting operations were still ongoing Sunday afternoon. The neighborhood experiences many inconveniences due to changing winds and a large cloud of smoke. The food was stored in cold storage, so it stinks. In the meantime, the municipality urges residents with soot damage to contact their insurance company.
Neighbors of the FamilyGrass artificial turf company were lucky. “If the wind had been different, they wouldn’t have been able to stop it,” director René van Hinthum said on Sunday. He was on holiday when the fire broke out, but he is still happy to be back home to help where he could.
There is practically nothing to see in their building, except some cracks in the wall. Yet work still isn’t really an option. The street is filled with fire hoses and a cloud of smoke extends over the neighborhood. “So when we can go back to work, we don’t know.”
The fire broke out in a refrigerator around half past five on Friday. The extinguishing job soon proved complicat

Border protection / illegal immigration
Written by Rainer Ackermann
Last year, illegal border violators carried out almost 200 attacks on border guards and police officers on the southern border with Serbia. In addition to eight more serious physical injuries, there was a large number of property damages, some of which were significant.
The State Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, Bence Rétvári, together with the Prime Minister’s chief advisor for internal security, György Bakondi, invited people to a special show in the city forest. Border guard vehicles were on display there, which were vandalized by illegal migrants during operations to protect the Schengen external border with Serbia. The State Secretary made no secret of his intention to demonstrate how dangerous the border guards’ activities are.
Warning shots against aggressive migrants
The smugglers repeatedly deliberately bring larger groups to the border in order to have an intimidating effect on the border guards and the police officers who are doing their patrol duty. There was intense stone throwing and in some cases firearms were even used.
The border guard has learned from previous years to protect the windshields of vehicles with protective grilles, but their bodywork is significantly damaged by the aggressive im
