On the 4th of May, the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando held their commencement. As graduates filed out, a pro-Palestine protest was set up front and center in the grassy mall onto which they emerged. A very large number of bike cops and protest pens up front walled off the protest-and one of the cops was armed with a yellow shotgun type weapon. This is designated by its color as a crowd control weapon, which fires impact munitions rather than lead bullets or shot.

Before cops could aggressively shut things down on their timetable, protesters withdrew by surprise as a cohesive unit. Bike cops moved to circle the exiting protesters but made no move to stop those who went right through their line.
