Philadelphia police disband Penn's pro-Palestinian encampment

Police on Friday disbanded the 16-day old pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Pennsylvania, less than 24 hours after Gov. Josh Shapiro called for its removal and over the objections of free speech advocates. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said the removal was necessary because protesters and Penn officials could not come to an agreement over the activists' demands.
Whether this will be the end of encampments at Penn for the semester remains to be seen. At some other universities, they were reerected after arrests.

Give them a criminal charge ! They have no respect for authority or the law.
If these individuals are America's future,
the society will collapse. It is time to stand up for America!!
God Bless America.🙏

Amazing no violence anywhere. Yeah, you can see why. The backlash would have been very brutal. Hald those people wearing Hajas are not Palestinians.
