California colleges are giving student protesters 'interim suspension' notices, a disciplinary process typically reserved for the most serious misconduct.

    More protests need people openly armed so cops are less likely to abuse us and leaders listen.

    Very cool students!

      Yeah that’ll end well. They’ll either have the swat team mowing people down for have the national guard do the same thing. They’ll treat it like terrorism and wipe everyone out, then go on the evening news and say the protestors were firing on police first and killing puppies.

        That’s not how it has historically went. When the protestors are armed, organized, and remain peaceful, the cops back off because cops are cowards

          Ok, and when is the last time that happened here in the US in the last 40 years?

            I believe there are more, but this is the first one that came to mind.

      That only works if you’re a fascist, because cops won’t target their allies.

        Black Panthers seemed to prove otherwise. They won’t brutalize in the moment, but it will stick in their craw and they’ll wait to hurt you later.

      That only works if they break no other laws. In a lot of places, committing a misdemeanor while armed makes it a felony.

        Yeah, I don’t know that it would work well in these particular protests.
