Arizona Universities: Once known for sunshine and free spirit, now hallmarks of censorship and oppression


For a second time last night, the University of Tucson brought in police to attack students with rubber bullets and tear gas, after the encampment for Palestine was put up again on Thursday.


Before a mob of police attacked the Palestine camp at the University of Arizona this morning at 1 a.m., on Friday, May 10, faculty members formed a line and tried to protect them. Police fired tear gas on the media during the attack and cleared the camp for Palestine. Earlier, on May 1, the university brought in another mob of police that attacked the camp and tore it down, shooting students with tear gas, pepper balls and rubber bullets, and beating one student. Tucson police, Pima County Sheriff's deputies and Arizona law enforcement were responsible for the brutal attack.
