As another anti-Israel encampment started to take root at UCLA on Thursday, police responded in force to nip the protest before it could blossom.
A small group of protesters started an encampment, but swiftly moved along after police in riot gear appeared. The protest grew, but police continued to maintain a presence until the protest was finally dispersed after students entered Dodd Hall. Police eventually dispersed them with no reported arrests, according to The New York Times.
During the hours the protest took place, police sought to maintain a perimeter blocking access. That included blocking access to people who wanted to bring food and water to the protesters, according to KABC-TV.
Even the high-tech route to sneaking in failed, as a robot trying to make a delivery was unable to find a route that did not involve the shoe of a police officer bringing it to a stop.
