- Investigations are underway after pro-Palestinian encampments and demonstrations took place at USC and UCLA in late April and early May.
Earlier in the week, police removed a massive pro-Palestinian encampent at UCLA and hundreds of people were arrested in the aftermath. Many are criticizing the universities for not stepping in earlier to take action before things escalated.
KTLA's John Fenoglio reports on May 3, 2024.

It's not free speech when you destroy property and harass people with whom you don't agree with.
What property was destroyed? I think one window was broken from what I have heard. The violence you see in this video is done by the counter protestors. And harassing people? Who is being harassed because it looks like these students are getting harassed by the cops and the counter protestors and agitators.
Rule by law, not rule of law
Are you talking about the pro-iseal thugs that were attacking and harassing peacefully protesting anti-war students? The same people who were throwing fireworks into the encampment setting things on fire? Are you talking about the campus police who watched on as that was happening and did nothing for 2 hours? Because yeah I agree.
@@johnd.2778 bingo, someone gets it. Its peaceful till interference by opposition, similar playbook as the George Floyd incident-granted some of those were genuine riots structured around burglary during times of weakness.
@@johnd.2778No, the pro-Hamas thugs.
Not pro Palestinian. It’s PRO HAMAS.
Don’t take the bait. You are either smarter than that, or you are not. Check your emotional bias. Free Palestine.
Exactly. They are pro-Hamas.
Well parents, this is where your hard earned money went. Now come pick up your kid.
Where do you find these people to interview? Have they been living under a rock?
They attacked the police. Infact the police had to retreat and get back up. This was not peaceful.
As Pelosi said to the Student protests in Hong Kong: A beautiful scene to behold 🤣🤣🤣
Paid agitators.
This might blow your mind but there are a lot of people who believe so completely against something that they might actually go and protest against it and they would do it for free.
not all.
Which camp?
Not the pro peace/life camp right?!
I can see the pro genocide camp as being not necessarily paid but backed by local officials to antagonize the pro peace 🕊️ camp to get them to be violent so as to undermine the peace/life rally.
The anti protesters sure as hell weren't. They fought back.
So same like to paid protesters in Hong Kong by US NGOs like NED or USAID 🤣🤣🤣
how come they dont protest against the ukrainien war
It's not the hip thing to do and not on the agenda of the Marxist organizations they are a part of.
I also wonder...
Because they haven't been paid and/or ordered to.
Because the US isn't funding Russia... It's really not that hard man
@@DigitalDeath88 who is doing the paying and the ordering? Who is the one having that much power to get students to risk getting arrested and potentially getting scholarships/grants pulled or kicked out of school all because someone ordered or paid them? That sounds like a huge risk. I wonder why no one has ever come forward to admit to being told to protest or proof of payment?
Why is it so hard to believe that students might have their own minds and guess what? They might not support war or ethnic cleansing and they certainly don’t support their school or gov’t spending their money to fund it either.
Obviously, you can’t wrap your mind around that thought so the easy answer is that they must be ordered or paid to protest. Ok, sure Jan. 🙄
Shame on these students for continuing to victimize native Americans and continuing to occupy their lands. They should be expelled! The hypocrisy is monumental.😢
They haven't got a clue of what's going on. Indoctrination can do strange things to joung minds.
No such thing as a native American.
@@sprsmokeno such thing as Israel.
@@jeremyvogt102 True
They asked them to leave and they got the results.
You should be reporting on the outside funding coming in to these protests! Not just college students!!
expel and jail, the graffiti alone is bad enough but the created a complete public danger , blocking people spitting shouting ect this is not protest its bullying
It’s called their first amendment rights but I don’t think I have seen any bullying done by the protestors. I’ve seen cops bullying and pro-Z*on*st people trying to agitate and cause the movement to look bad but not the actual students protesting.
material things over human life 😂
You should be investigating why it happened in the first place and who is paying for it. Scrutinizing the police is not the direction we need to go. Their job is hard enough.
Media lies keeps this going!
Yeah because the mainstream media isn't basically hasbara propaganda at this point.
She never mentions the Vandalism. That’s not free speech.
Yeah, those Boston tea party guys should’ve just stayed home and accepted the monarchy rules. Those Boston citizens shouldn’t have agitated the Red coats, the British needed to set an example. The police have to instigate and escalate violence, so the news can record them fighting back and say they started it, because optics matter more than any so called truth.
Ok fine them but majority are still peaceful protesting and not vandalizing. Though I know for sure shooting fireworks into crowds can be considered attempted murder. Which isn't free speech for sure.
Once a single person vandalizes public property, then no one has freedom of speech. Putin should invite you to be his spokesperson.
Hitler, Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un gave a thumbs up.
@@ddiisns What do you mean? There's videos of the protestors harassing black and Jewish people on campus who were just passing through the protestors on their way to class. That's not a peaceful protest.
All they had to do was to turn on the sprinklers. That would have cleared them out.
Start static, then play victim. That’s CAIR in a nutshell.
Destruction and disruption is not peaceful demonstration.
Police escalated the situation just as they always have in American history. Nothing has changed because the rich and powerful always value insured property over human life.
The protests are about as peaceful as the people they're supporting-Hamas
@@darthtechnologies553 "checkpoints with signs saying zionists not welcome."
Protests are peaceful as Israel
The students are far more peaceful compared to the rioters on January 6th.
I saw nothing wrong with how it was handled
This will end very badly for Israel.
So where was the peaceful protest. None of that was peaceful.
Any violence the news was showing you was the pro-Zionist protesters violently attacking the peaceful pro-Palestine protestors. The cops didn’t do anything for three hours while they allowed the peaceful protesters to be attacked. That was the only violence other than when the cops used violence to arrest peaceful pro-Palestine protestors.
@@darthtechnologies553wow way to frame that in a truly factual way based way lmao. There is no genocide no matter what TikTok tells you. If that was the case the American revolution was a battle of genocides and that is utterly ridiculous. Get a grip on reality.
@@mattdobson7598 It isn't Tik Tok. It's the international courts. There are arrest warrants against Bibi and the Defense minister. George Washington didn't orchestrate a man made famine on the loyalist in the states.
There was no police brutality, I watched the whole thing from start to finish. The police acted with force against those that refused to leave private property and it was the students that were violent against the police. Not one student had an injury, some feigned injury and others exaggerated the force used against them because they refused to leave. As if them disrupting their studies, the studies of all the students in the University, and destroying university property will make the Israeli army change their tactics. This war is bigger then them. They should be sent to Israel to confront those they disagree with and give their solutions to an age old war the greatest minds in history have not been able to solve. 😂
Rubber bullets for a protest? In Washington state. Antifa took a few blocks, declared it their country, burned buildings - and they were left there for months. 😅
You are lying. If the police had caught violence then the news cameras would have caught if, or the police would have release their cam footage. You don't arrest 200 people without visual evidence. Plus are argument is weak. They protest because Israel has been sniping Palestinian protesters at least since 2015. Israel funds Hamas. They meet with them in the tunnels that Israel dug. Israel calls them up and tell them that they have 3 minutes to get of the house before the jets drop bombs. Go to your local library and watch the CDs that have been around since 2015.
Very accurate account of the event. I watched all the coverage live. Any claims of police brutality are WILDLY exaggerated. There's no question.
The KTLA coverage was wildly misleading and dangerous and it will definitely embolden more and more clashes with police. But I guess KTLA makes $$$ from that because they get to be on the scene.
"Last week, 93 Pro-Palestinian demonstrators were arrested at USC, '53' were students".
Still a majority
@@darthtechnologies553 "I'm" repeating what the News anchors revealed.
Yes they will be deported !
They’re all pro Hamas supporters
@@darthtechnologies553it’s weird and totally suspicious
Such a liar that girl that did not happen lying about the police shameful and pathic
It's not a peaceful protest if it means you are discriminating against a group of people.
I'm sorry did you think criticizing a country wasn't allowed? Or are you just being antisemitic? And how does speech equal violence??
@@jm74784wow you came in super hot and escalated this right out of the gate. Why not ask a few simple questions before making accusations in the guise of a loaded question?
@@jm74784 Leave then. Nobody is asking you be here.
@@jm74784 I never said anything about speech equaling violence or criticizing a country was discrimination. What I said was that there was a group of people who were being discriminated against during this protest. To be specific as to what I was referring to, the Jewish people and people who were not necessarily pro-Palestine were largely prohibited from stepping on their own UCLA campus by the pro-Palestine occupation, often by people who didn't even attend the school. Surely, you can criticize a country and use freedom of speech without infringing on individuals' rights, but what I am not fine with is punishing the Jewish individuals who had nothing to do with this Israel-Palestine conflict, or punishing individuals for not being pro-Palestine for one reason or another. If the roles were reversed and the pro-Israel people were the ones causing this chaos, I would be strongly against that too for the same reasons. A peaceful protest is when you can exercise your first amendment rights without infringing on other peoples' inalienable rights, all without disturbing the peace, and that's what was missing in this UCLA occupation.
And for your information, not that it matters, I am neutral in this Israel-Palestine conflict. It's impossible for me to pick a side due to the complexity of this situation that stems back decades, and I just don't feel right having an opinion on something so complex. I can see why supporters of both sides feel so strongly about their positions, and I can agree with both of them on certain points. I hope you understand.
It seems like the UCLA college doesn't really care about the students
"Criticized over response to Campus protests"
Damn right! They didnt arrest nearly enough of them, and allowed them to stay far too long.
You mean they didn’t arrest enough of the pro-Zionist agitators that violently attacked a peaceful protest by pro-Palestinian students?
The cops sat back and watched these students get violently attacked for 3 hours and did nothing.
You realize that they're protesting against a genocidal war that takes money directly from their college tuition and American taxes
It's called "freedom of speech". They were sitting on the grass or walking passed. Only a couple of fools were acting out. Perhaps alt-right Nationalist disguised as protesters.
i just ask that you find a dif word than "clashes" it implies 2 consenting parties and its being over used
A lesson in George Carlin 101 . . . "Soft Words".
Notice the words these news outlets use:clash,tempers flare,civil disobedience,tensions heating up.
And the tone to psychologically pick at the viewers conscience in order to dominate their audience’s emotions.
Look.. it’s this simple. Either you stand with peace and life or you stand with genocide.
Either you have a heart full of compassion for human life or you’re a blood thirsty psychopath. Period!
@@darthtechnologies553 dead instead of killed,woman instead of girl,.. theres a whole list on x.
@@darthtechnologies553 it’s on purpose to play on their audiences emotions to ultimately sway them to their side.
The tone they use, their body language, the key words,clashes,tensions flaring up,civil disorder etc all to undermine the pro peace/life camps efforts to succeed at gaining momentum with the American people and the rest of the world.
Had they been cheering on the genocide in Gaza they would have been allowed to camp out be as loud and disruptive as they want and the reporters would be all smiles with them while interviewing them.
We are in a sick and twisted new era.
@@Catholic33AD that sounds like propaganda then 🤔 america is turning into a Authoritarian police state so it would make sense.
Whats worse it seems like a good 30% of the world support Fascism too
Things started from USC!
USC is a disgrace too so
FREE SPEECH VS. AIPAC PUPPETS!
Do they think this is over?😂
That is what they think. They just lit the fuse
@@jm74784yeah well either we can light the fuse and have the peace rally undermined by more msm and politicians justifying the end to it because we get labeled as violent OR we can light a candle in honor and repose for those who have died by the -nazis- I mean Zionists.
I think the candle light vigil approach is best and can win many people over then being violent which is what the death camp wants from us.
Humanity will win
Keep US money and weapons out of Netanyahu’s hands.
I'm guessing it would be better for you if that money would go to Iran so they can fund Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist
acts huh! Be real...! 😂
stop calling them pro palastinian protests...they are pro hamas and im sick and tired of mainstream side stepping that fact because its inconvenient.
Some of them are most likely pro Palestinian and not Hamas sympathizers.
Looks like a really big egg fell on your head.
Some of these medias are responsible when the terrorist attacks happen in US. They are allowing the domestic terrorists to grow. We should all be afraid that 911 would be a minor incident compared to what these folks will do to our country in the future (with cartels, gangs, Chinese and Russian aids, and anarchists).
USC & UCLA must have criticized!!! CLUELESS in LOS ANGELES!!!
I just know with reverse image searches nowadays and how it’s advancing, it’ll be easy to identify these individuals.
Those weren't students or peaceful!
the peaceful protesters were attacked by the opposing view folks but media is not reporting truthfully.
Protesters were warned to leave or be arrested-no sympathy.
Charge with crimes, expel, and bar from future enrollment. Blue collar industry needs workers, labor market is tight.
THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT
WHY ARE THEY ALLOWING TERRORIST THE ABILITY TO OCCUPY US TERRITORY
Why do you think students protesting war and saying they are pro-Palestinian are terrorists? How simple minded you must be if you think anyone who doesn’t support the ethnic cleansing of Palestine is a terrorist.
@@grandmaida7819 these students are American students and guess what? Many of them are also Jewish and they don’t support what is happening in Gaza. It’s pretty simple.
@@minniemins2837They support a terrorist organization, Hamas.
If a group supports natzees, you call them natzees right?
@@minniemins2837we are dealing with deranged homicidal minds who desire innocent blood spilled.
We need to take it to the streets now!
I dont think they were tough enough!
Thousands of Israelis in Tel Aviv demand cease-fire and Netanyahu's resignation
These universities should be billed for the police responses. They have endowments in the BILLION$. Taxpayers should not be funding their failure of leadership.
Usc and ucla deserve the criticism. Took them far too long
It was just a tourist visit. Tucker Carlson has video of students calmly walking around, so nothing happened.
What exactly did the students expect the colleges to do about this? The deans to go tell Israel off so hard it Ended the war?? That makes no sense!
@@darthtechnologies553 So are they against ANYONE that has investments in Israel or just schools?
Kids these days do whatever is trendy. Stop thinking they care about an outcome.
@Mr White : Try using your brain and do a little critical thinking for once in your life. 🤔🙄 like seriously who do you think students are demanding divest in Israel???
@@darthtechnologies553 My tiny brain says if someone has a problem with their school having investments in Israel, surely they should have a problem using items from companies with investments in Israel or my tiny brain says they are little hypocrites. Do you see where me and my tiny brain is going with this?
the jewish organizers of the protest did this on purpose to force congress to enact antisemitism laws
Any student who says they will not stop on camera or social media. Um, duh, you got their name, so EXPEL them already! No tuition refund. Cry to mommy and daddy. No readmission.
The democratic party supplies the tents, the buses to get there, the instruction manual, and the money for these protesters. Same as in Ferguson, Portland, seattle.
In NY illegals can beat a police and get away with it… ???
How do you know if it’s the democrats that are responsible for this?
There’s no room for pro Hamas protesters- period. If you support these folks, you’re supporting Hamas.
No room for people who support war crimes and genocide
Excuse me? How do you equate being anti-war and being against your government and school supporting an ethnic cleansing in Palestine as being pro Hamas?
It’s possible to condemn Hamas at the same time as being supportive of the innocent Palestinian people. Are you incapable of seeing this distinction?
By the way, more innocent people have been killed by the IDF than by Hamas. Do you support the killing of innocent civilians as long as they are not Israelis?
@@minniemins2837Stop with the hyperbole.
I find that statement funny considering the domestic terrorist icon that flag in your profile represents
@@minniemins2837what is your source for more “innocents” being killed by the idf?
Super appreciate you didn't use the S word, it is very nice to know some people have access to the internet and can use it to find... I dunno, the definition of something! It was unfortunate the 2 students you were able to get had less constructive comments to give despite being college students, with the 1 clearly not aware of current events.
What we are witnessing is the result of the partition trophy generation.
No! We are witnessing those we have a heart be those who have a stone for a heart.
@@Catholic33ADlol 90% of those people couldn’t even point out Gaza on map. The irony of it all, these same people will be protesting environmental issues next even though their encampments are surrounded with wood, plastic, and piles of trash. It’s a generation of hypocrisy.
Is that what you would say of the student protesters during vietnam or civil rights.
@@shrayesraman5192 No, that generation sacrificed and earned its right to protest. This generation has given nothing and asked for everything…
These students are easily persuaded
nothing about it was a peaceful protest 😂😂😂😂😂
Yea.. well when you have agitators from the pro massacre camp and backed up by local officials then obviously things will get tense.
But all of that is going to change soon.
There is a way more peaceful protest coming.
Candle light vigils and all for the deceased.
the people who are supposed to be on top of these sort of developments were probably out of town or totally uninterested. & they make big money.💰💰
Thank God my daughter graduated from UCLA IN 2023, these kids are screwed if this is what will show up on their background checks when looking for a job. They can always put Pro-Palestinian protester on their resume😂
Recall Gason and Bass. Make the protesters pay for all the damage and make them pay back all their student loan.
Chilli's jail name is "Buttercup" he could also be facing a Federal indictment due to the fact that he threatened a judge
This was not a peaceful protest this was a riot KTLA5…get it straight…
The students were peaceful the pro israeli ones attacked them

They are also the puppet masters of our gov body.
Go on peacefully till they call AIPAC supporters goons to disrupt, old tactics on new generation
I've never wanted tear gas to be fired at people so badly!
Did they offend you for wanting a war to end?
I hope you find your self quite close and down wind.
same lol
Did this reporter really just say pro-Israeli counter protesters “and other agitators”? Yeah we know where the media stands…
among the agitators, there must be undercover operatives.
These students all went to these schools to get dumb. It worked!!
wrong - they know exactly what is happening. They are syphoning US$ to foreign lands. You are the new slave that will be paying taxes and the debt will never be paid off by today’s children.
No more women university presidents.
Ya think and did it last long umm 😐 NO
😮😮😮😮 investigate who funded this protest !!! That woman us crazy the protest was violence not the police. We saw the footage. The police did the right thing.
No they didn't arrest the person who shot fireworks into the crowds that attempted murder.

I’m not criticizing so stuff your headline
Didn't the school warned them to stop? now they're asking why they didn't intervened when the cops came?

All the while law abiding family men and women are rotting in jail for walking through the capital on J6. What to do..
You mean the ones that violently attacked the capitol police and broke into the capitol to disrupt congress? This doesn’t sound very law abiding to me. The ones that were not violent and didn’t vandalize and break in were still trespassing and these are crimes.
hahahahaha LOL WOT A JOKE
Wow, I guess my reply was deleted. That’s lame.
Peaceful violence 😂
Those rioters are the enemy within, that wasn't a peacefully protest
Jail all J6 mobs.
No. They are trying to save America. As I now see, USA should abolish the celebration of the 4th of July. There is no independence to celebrate when a foreign dictator gives orders to USA - in public. It is how they announce when a cough rt has been taken over.
Free speech or supporting terrorism? It depends on where you stand on the political spectrum.

One of the biggest atrocities on freedom of speech has been happening with the young adults in the college across America free Julian Assange before it's too late to free ourselves world press Freedom Day was yesterday and nobody came to free Julian Assange what a crying shame
There is no freedom of speech for regular Americans unless you are cheering on their narrative. Like for Ukraine or for Israel.
The moment you step out from their side then your right to free speech is cancelled and are criminalized.
And we thought that they learned from the civil rights era, they learned to keep on being more aggressive and intimidating.
I think I know who had JFK killed. Speak against the deep state and you are antisemitic.
