Police say 68 arrested after 2+ hours of negotiations stall and SAIC trespasses student protesters, leading to first CPD clearing of a pro-Palestine encampment demonstration in the city (this year, at least). More below.
First arrest today occurred around 1:11 p.m. Protester was pulled out of the encampment from the nearby fence and thrown to the pavement, somewhere in there their shirt was torn.
This was earlier in the day when police and protesters were pushing back and forth on a barricade police put up. This was going on most of the day, though from what I saw, officers Callahan and Schmitz seemed to get the most aggressive with protesters on the line.
Appears to be the same officer Schmitz as in the prior video, though this was taken as protesters were being arrested (and some given amnesty).
CPD News Affairs just confirmed they made 68 arrests at the School of Art Institute encampent

Police have begun making arrests—in some cases violently—at the SAIC encampment.
I’m at the SAIC encampment that started about an hour and a half ago. CPD stopped demonstrators from getting onto the sidewalk on Monroe and are holding a barricade between them and protesters. One arrest has been made, more seem to be coming, police have drawn batons @Suntimes

These are the same people who insist anti-genocide protests make them feel “unsafe”: Seemingly drunk extremists hurling homophobic slurs antagonizing students minding their business. Filming their own hate, laughing it up.
Far-right harassers are harassing a student encampment at FIT right now, hurling homophobic slurs, screaming at the camp calling them “f*ggots.” Earlier, a far-right extremist associated with those harassing now showed up & tried to instigate but everyone ignored him.

I’m at the SAIC encampment that started about an hour and a half ago. CPD stopped demonstrators from getting onto the sidewalk on Monroe and are holding a barricade between them and protesters. One arrest has been made, more seem to be coming, police have drawn batons @Suntimes
There’s going to be a lot of cruel things said about the SAIC students arrested today. But if you want to know the caliber of students at this school, where I am a faculty member, I had several students text ME—their teacher—today. They were asking if I was alright.
Appears to be the same officer Schmitz as in the prior video, though this was taken as protesters were being arrested (and some given amnesty).
@jimdaleywrites It’s not entirely true that there was no violence before arrests began. When I was there an hour ago, I witnessed plenty of police violence against protesters. Protesters were nearly trampled by police shoving a metal barrier on a packed crowd, for instance.
Students from other schools here too, i’ve seen several Loyola hats.
I should note the crowd is very diverse now. Started with students, but people walking by starter joining up as well in addition to other groups like Rev Com. Many in yarmulkes and several children here as well. Police now swapping out some officers on the line.
somewhere 150-200 protesters here between sidewalk, right lane of Michigan and median. Some in the encampment have climbed trees and were leading chants from there. CPD holding the line in front of the west gate, encampment protesters hold shields to the gate.
Student encampment at the Art Institute garden seems to have decided on a name: Hind’s Garden

Yes, having spokespeople that you delegate certain communications to is totally a sign of being untrustworthy, and definitely not something the NYT has a whole @NYTimesPR department for
When protests are not about actually explaining your cause or trying to engage journalists who are there to listen. @Peggynoonannyc describes her visit to Columbia before the raid.
These people are being such babies about the protesters being disciplined it’s hilarious. If you want a statement talk to a spokesperson, asshole.

What I assume are SWAT cops in fatigues meeting ahead of that same sidewalk, looking over encampment

The kids are demonstrating incredible levels of media literacy, message discipline, and self-awareness, and it is driving professional journalists up the wall.
