Watching the protests live at the Auraria campus was massively disturbing. I was watching the live stream as I sat in my office on campus since we kept getting all of these alerts both in texts and emails. Every time the cops arrested someone and tried to carry them away, other protesters would attack the cops punching, kicking, grabbing. The protesters were not being non-violent. There was also a guy with a flag that kept being very physically aggressive towards the cops. I can understand why Jewish students are afraid to be on campus since these pro-Palestine groups are showing that they are quick to violence.

Also as a side note, the protestors had no care for the area they were protesting in. This could be seen in one of the interviews that they did with some of the protestors. They couldn't even name a specific company that they thought that the schools were supporting. They had littered and didn't even care about the mess they were making or about the people that would have to clean up after they leave.
