Endless Pondering

These are very disturbing

DPS and PPD woke students up initially by throwing construction materials at the tents (heavy pipes, wood pieces, etc), and then bulldozed the tents down WITHOUT CHECKING TO SEE IF STUDENTS WERE INSIDE.

Suzy Rosen-Singleton had an argument with DPS chief Mel Batten-Mickens, and asked why they were not warned before this took place, despite MBM’s promise to inform them beforehand. MBM said “We didn’t arrest anyone. We would just warn you before arrests took place. There were no arrests.” Upon being pressured further, MBM said she didn’t want to talk anymore and left the scene. more information « People of the Eye

  1. The injured needs to file reports to the police then they can investigate into the claims. They also should seek legal representative and file lawsuits.

  2. This is a very serious situation.

    If as it seems, staff were throwing metal pipes onto tents and riding bulldozers over them without checking to see if there were students inside, then that is potentional murder.

  5. This is very disturbing to see.

    What does it mean when the adminstration feels the need to take violent action against peaceful people. It means they are losing.
