Demonstrators said 'the university would rather see us dead than divest' after counterprotesters attacked a pro-Palestinian encampment Tuesday night.
Demonstrators and members of the pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus of UCLA , which was attacked overnight, spoke out against the university, police response and more, and reiterated that the encampment will remain until their demands are met."The life-threatening assault we faced last night is nothing less than a horrifying, despicable act of terror," representatives from the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment said at a press conference.Around 11 p.m.
Despite asking for a larger police presence, part of the group's demands include "abolishing policing.""Law enforcement simply stood at the edge of the lawn and refused to budge as we screamed for their help."Shortly before the group's press conference Wednesday, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block released a statement condemning the violence that broke out Tuesday night.
