UCLA alleges protesters carried tools to take over buildings

LA Times  

Pro-Palestinian supporters were arrested at the Westwood campus of UCLA on Monday. UCLA police say protesters arrested Monday at a university garage had materials that could be “used to unlawfully enter and barricade a building.” In a news release Wednesday, campus police said some of those arrested had “heavy-duty metal pipes, bolt cutters, epoxy adhesive, super glue, padlocks heavy-duty chains,” as well as literature “encouraging vandalism and violence.” Police said they’d seized a copy of the “The Do-It-Yourself Occupation Guide.” UCLA has faced criticism for the arrests of the 44 pro-Palestinian protesters — 35 of whom, according to police, were students. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Wednesday compared the attack on the camp to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, saying it “came out of nowhere.” Shortly before 11 p.m. that night, a large pro-Israeli group arrived on the Westwood campus and attacked pro-Palestinian protesters. Speaking about the level of coordination of the attack, Bass said she had “no idea,” although she said she didn’t “think that however many people just all woke up at the same time and decided to go to UCLA.” Monday’s arrests followed avowals by UCLA officials to improve security after the April 30 violence. But he said the LAPD told him there was a problem with the payment system between the city and the state so the arrangements “couldn’t be done by the time of the attack.” On Wednesday, Bass rejected the notion that there was “some payment delay” to the LAPD and that the police force withheld service.
