April 30 was Day 2 of the Palestine solidarity encampment (tents and all) at University of South Florida in Tampa. Remembering the failed police attack the day before, this time police used far more force

Protesters had shield too, but not enough for everyone and obviously didn’t have enough if any gas masks to go around.

One of the worst gas canisters was picked up and thrown out of the encampment, but as it did not land in the cops any “assault” charge or warrant for this is crap. Drone footage proves it didn’t go into the cops.

The cops told everyone they were firing into with the gas canisters to “consider yourselves under arrest.” Arrest estimates range from 10 to 25, so there is a good chance at least some protesters were able to escape.

Cops warned further resistance would cause them to use injurious force, but they should remember that’s a game two can play. Any amount of force is justified in resisting a genocide like the one the US is funding in Gaza as far as I am concerned. Cop City is just the beginning…
