Emerson College in Boston saw a particularly interesting crack down on Palestine protesters yesterday.
The university and city conspired to use an anti-homeless ordnance (which criminalized being unhoused) now to criminalize protesters instead.
The students were setup in public space and were attempting to follow city rules about sleeping outside by ensuring the path was clear.

As we've seen on campuses across the country, Boston police marched a column of cops in riot gear aggressively into dense crowds of peaceful protesters milling around.
Cops viciously threw students to the ground if they didn't move fast enough.
It's important to know the alley the protest was in led to a deadend.
Once cops stormed in, there was no where for students to escape to.
Before the cop riot, students were holding teach-ins. It's still pretty cold at nighti n Boston, lows in the 30s F, many students were taking shelter in tents.
This morning work crews were seen washing blood from the alley were students were kettled and brutally arrested last night.
Local news, WGBH, has a detailed account along with comments from local city council members about last nights police riot at Emerson.
The know who did it and the DA will not press charges...
