  1. The university’s official statement said the campus police asked for assistance which indicates to me that they felt were not confident with the task at hand. Whether it was because of being out numbered or who they were dealing with is up to interpretation.
  2. You're going to die on the hill aren’t you. They asked for asssistane because they knew it was going to overwhelm them, probably had a lot to do with the *Cop City* protest that happened early. They knew those guys were idiots from the beginning. Give it up.
  3. Here ya go: Laura Diamond, assistant vice president of University Communications at Emory University, released the following statement in response to the protest: "Several dozen protesters trespassed into Emory University’s campus early Thursday morning and set up tents on the Quad. These individuals are not members of our community. They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals. Emory does not tolerate vandalism or other criminal activity on campus. The Emory Police Department ordered the group to leave and contacted Atlanta Police for assistance." https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/protest-underway-at-emory-university-in-support-of-palestine-stop-cop-city Several dozen shouldn’t overwhelm the campus police. Asking for assistance seems to indicate they needed help from outside to control what they expected to be resistance they couldn’t handle. More from the article: The article claimed the protesters were a group of students from across "multiple Atlanta universities and community members" who have organized against "Cop City," which is the nickname that has been given to the training center, and the genocide of Palestinians at the "hands of U.S. imperialism." The protesters say they are "demanding total institutional divestment from Israeli apartheid and Cop City at all Atlanta colleges and universities." The protesters say Emory University was chosen because it is complicit in genocide and police militarization and it, along with Atlanta University Center Consortium, Georgia State University, and Georgia Tech, have intimidated and repressed students and employees who have spoken out in support of Palestinians. The writers of the article also claim that the roots of Cop City can be traced to the Israeli Urban Warfare Training Center, nicknamed "Mini Gaza," which was allegedly funded with $45 million from the U.S. The protesters are claiming that the training centers are live testing grounds for strategies deployed against marginalized peoples, whether in occupied Palestine or predominantly Black, working-class, and undocumented communities in Atlanta.// You’re such a putz
