Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a "buffer zone" between the rival groups.

All these police attacks on Pro-Palestine rallies are just bringing more attention that would have faded away.
And the unprovoked violent attacks will cause more people to start to question the Israel war and the US support of it. People will start to wonder why supporting normal Palestine people is an idea to attack peaceful rallies and to take away the right to protest.
In this case they weren't attacked by Police.
Or the police weren’t wearing their uniforms???
I'm willing to accept that as a possibility but I've seen it argued the other way too. That since the Pro-Palestinian side hasn't been getting pushed down at UCLA like other places "something" needed to happen in order to increase visibility.
In fairness the various University of California campuses have been pretty laid back with these protests to the point that they'd refused to call in Law Enforcement at all on the LA campus until things got out of hand last night. Even then it seems that Law Enforcement slow rolled their response.
At this point who the hell knows; could be some of Column A and a little of Column B.
