Military grade equipment being defended by campus cops?
Be a real shame if someone were to reappropriate them
we will never use them
Really burying the lede that this is for campus cops. I thought commiefornia was starting to arm and train the grad students
arm and train the grad students
wtf is campus police?
If they need pepper spray for sitting student, makes sense they need grenades when things escalate beyond sitting.
It’s one of the steps to funnel kids into the school to prison pipeline
They basically drive around on sidewalks and almost run people over, occasionally harass female students, but mostly sit around and just eat up student tuition doing nothing.
But the main reason is that they are immediately on campus when protests start so they can immediately intimidate students or protect random 60+ year old Zionists that want to yell slurs at random students.
or protect random 60+ year old Zionists that want to yell slurs at random students.
From the videos I saw of those campus protests, those Zionists did a lot more than hurl slurs, they were full on trying to rip those kids apart with their bare hands.
Yea the encampments in California got full on assaulted by brown shirts with like pipes and bats and shit like that. Police were suspiciously not present for those events until the day after when they broke the encampment up. Think it was UCLA if I remember right... It's been a long couple years
Police were suspiciously not present for those events
Oh, they were there. Any time a protestor tried to defend themselves or others a cop would show up within seconds to arrest them.
Ok you know how cops are guys too lazy and stupid to join the army
Ok imagine the guys too lazy and stupid to become cops
you mean like ice agents?
Yeah that's a good comparison actually
Stop resisting
but someone probably will
'Those antisemitic anti-genocide protestors are imminently about to raid the universities' unsecured armoury, we have to pre-emptively drone-strike their encampment'
Mandating the ability to pre-emptively drone strike your own armory, thereby necessitating an armory to contain the drones to strike itself.
Ah, yes, I often spend tons of money on things that I will also never use

Do you want a student uprising?
Students will write a 16-pages post on Instagram in protest, perhaps even a reel carousel.
Russian revolution was possible because 1st world war spread guns to plebes. Just saying.
i wake up hungover in my dorm room and light a cigarette
10 seconds later my door is blasted apart with a breaching charge
before i can react, a flashbang flies at my face and breaks my front teeth before searing my retinas and popping both my eardrums
i attempt to stand and take thirty 9mm rounds to the torso before my feet touch the floor
as my vision fades, the college swat team tell me that smoking is not permitted on campus property
The fuck?
In your mind you'd think this was security to stop would be school shooters, but, you're wrong, it's actually to fuck up student protestors.
Oh yeah, the average person probably thinks this is still about "protecting the people" don't they? They don't even consider why these sorts of things keep happening (and why despite these things happening, school shootings only get more and more frequent)
Oh okay then
Ugh ...what about a Zombie apocalypse ? Ever thought of that ?
Where do they put them all?
Ok, Oppenheimer
What?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
