Nearly half of the campus protests that Acled categorized as violent involved protesters fighting with law enforcement during police interventions, according to the group’s data.
So 98.5% were peaceful, although some protesters had to defend themselves against police aggression.
They also counted several examples of counter-protestors violently attacking peaceful protesters, like in UCLA, so the number is slightly higher still.
So literally 99.99% of violence is done towards campus protestors by either cops or some bus of chuds that came in from out of state
This is what the media always does whenever anyone dares to protest the status quo. Wait for the piggies to show up and start shit, then when the protestors fight back they turn on the cameras and say "look how violent this protest is." Every single goddamn time.
1.5% non-compliance, that's a paddlin.
Based on what I've seen I doubt most American police know what a percent is.
Path to police seems to be, be dumb in everything, bully some people, show willingness to abuse without thought. Here ya go, have a license to kill, torture/murder implements, now get out there and shoot some poor people!
BREAKING: anti-genocide protestors largely against violence
