Dear, God!!! I have met and talked to some of those students!

What in God's name were the administration, police and city officials (??) thinking!?! This is ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE!!

Who was being hurt by these students? No one.
Who was being bothered by these students? No one. (If they were, then maybe the cops could give them a warning for "disturbing the peace.")
Why can the cows spend the night out in the field and the paying students CAN'T? Aren't they animals too?
Who were they threatening? No one.
Why did they use VIOLENCE when there was no threat?
The University of California seems to be entrenched in a complex web of violence, from the way it deals with difficult students to its incestuous relationship with weapons developers, producers and (ab)users.

The oppression represented on this footage demonstates far better than any words as to why something like a student-led, direct democracy experiment such as Tent University is SO NECESSARY.
