why are the cops worrying about this and not the university????? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

How much have you fucked up when you're giving cops the chance to bust out all their toys and violently arrest some kids and the cops say "nah, we'll pass"?

University leaders: Tuition is all paid up? Fuck them kids.

To be fair, they certainly know what violent protest looks like now.

I mean, when have cops actually worried about the optics??

I doubt the cops give a single shit. This propaganda is about devaluing higher education by deflecting an overreaction to college admins.

The admins think calling the police in means it isn't their responsibility any more

DC has a lot more experience with protests FWIW so might explain their hesitancy (not that MPD can't be as brutal as any other)

Dear GWU administration, your heavy handed approach is going to make us look bad. - DC Cops

Because someone is threatening to pull donations and funding from the university if they don’t crush the protests?

lol G-Town trying to get in on the elite panic and getting shot down by the cops is the most G-Town thing ever.
