The Los Angeles Police Department detained several demonstrators at a pro-Palestine protest Wednesday at the University of Southern California campus, where officers clashed with participants as tensions rose.
Video from NewsChopper4 showed campus police attempting to break down some of the encampments set up for the Gaza Solidarity Occupation demonstrations that took place across the country. Around 5:30 p.m., the LAPD issued a dispersal order to remove the protesters from campus. “I have my parents calling me from the East Coast asking me if I’m OK, if I’m safe and honestly, I’m not,” Russo said.“It’s about the suffering of the Palestinian people, the martyrs there, and trying to put an end to the Israeli occupation and to the genocide that’s ongoing,” said a pro-Palestinian protester who identified himself only as Desmond.
