    Texas police are a lot more proactive in this case than they were in Uvalde.

      There’s money at stake here, not just worthless children’s lives, you know. They know who pays their salaries, and it ain’t 10 year old kids.

    If they’re students, how are they trespassing?

      Maybe the totalitarian automatic mass suspensions and expulsions are in effect the moment they say anything AIPAC wouldn’t approve of?

        I am kind of flabbergasted at how they did the suspensions. My school was no where near as nice as most of these schools and our school had a whole convoluted process for suspension. Assuming you didn’t commit a violent crime, then you got at least two meetings with deans and one of them you had access to a student advocate, if you desired.

          Yeah, they’re being extremely authoritarian in their unthinking reactionary zeal. Literal fascist police state stuff 🤬

      I would not be at all surprised if Texas law says that anyone can be declared a trespasser on property they don’t own at any time.

        Yeah. Faculty is probably allowed to shoot the students

    So could the Police legally arrest peaceful protesters because non-students joined the protest?

    I saw the anti-semitic b******* but if it’s a peaceful protest in support of Palestine, it would seem really easy to sue the police over constitutional violations.

    That’s a big risk to take to violate a constitutional right.

        I can believe that. But you can still bring lawsuits against them, one’s gotta stick according to sheer numbers. That’s how change starts

          Except the police don’t suffer repercussions for those lawsuits. The taxpayers are the ones who pay them. The police union protects the cops and the police union never gets successfully sued.

            Often they don’t, sometimes they do.

            Never trying because something is difficult is not the way to effect change.

              I have honestly never heard of a successful lawsuit against a police union. I understand the ‘always try’ idea, but lawsuits cost money and there’s the concept of throwing good money after bad. Maybe using that money to fight for reforms in the political arena would be a better idea?

                Fighting back against constitutional violations is the epitome of advancing reform in a political arena in which those rights are being constantly eroded.

                Fighting for the legitimacy of essential social and personal rights guaranteed to you by the constitution of your country is in no way a waste of resources.

                  But successful lawsuits don’t make legal rulings on constitutional violations.
