Questions about police response after pro-Palestinian protesters took over and barricaded the Cal State Los Angeles student services building.
As pro-Palestinian protesters took over and barricaded the Cal State Los Angeles student services building Wednesday night, university police issued a mutual aid call that brought officers from the Los Angeles Police Department and California Highway Patrol to the campus. But although the officers were prepared to enter the building and clear out the protesters, top university officials never gave them approval to move in, according to two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the incident.
and CHP officers remained there before eventually leaving, said the two law enforcement sources, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. At some point in the night, protesters scrawled pro-Palestinian slogans all over the windows. A video from ABC7 showed a broken glass door, ransacked cubicles and people wheeling copy machines out of the building. It remains unclear exactly why police did not take action.
