You can see him in the video bump an officer in the back with his camera, but it's by no means an attack or even "hitting" someone in the way the connotes intention. Those cops were looking for the thinnest veneer of justification to kick some ass and slap some cuffs on someone

Much like trump on Jan 6, his growing silence through the day is making things worse and worse.

Microsoft's licensing is gonna keep ARM from getting bigger - enterprises with VDI solutions are really badly handcuffed by windows licensing terms that make running them anywhere but Azure not that great.
But, I could definitely see ARM taking over more and more. Especially when you've got the success of Valve's Proton compatibility to translate directX APIs into Vulkan APIs, there's fewer and fewer anchors keeping consumer users on Windows for desktop computing

I don’t believe in the right to break laws in the name of “protest.”
That was not happening here? Please support your assertion that it was.

Same thing as above.

It is the WRONG move to memory hole all those posts. It's his favorite move, and it's fucking wrong.
He should have moved the posts to a new thread, rather than just lazily deleting everything. If that's his only solution then @immamac should fucking have a talk with him about destroying his user content and discussion

@blacklab can you restore all those posts and comments from when the event was happening?
Or did you just erase that context and discussion because you didn't like how much your buddies said they liked "cracking heads"?
Edit: credit where it's due, thank you for restoring the posts. Sorry for the extreme emotion, but I thought you had memory holed the entire contemporaneous discussion and I was quite irate.

you're both free to start a new thread about it, no one is stopping you and I would not delete or move the thread.
I've posted at least 5 times in this thread to stay on topic.
You've already deleted and removed the posts and discussion.
If you wanted it to be a topic, you would have moved the posts.
But you didn't. You didn't want ANY discussion of it, so you hit the reset button and removed the fresh context.
You are a fucking terrible mod if you just memory holed all those posts and user content. What the fuck, dude?

He sure fuckin acts and moderates like a chud. He's letting the fascists and bootlickers set the terms of the conversation, rather then telling them to go eat a bag of dicks.

No, because the posts don't belong here.
Why you ask? Because a bootlicker will come along, and rather than ignore him you'll then engage with him and the thread turns to shit.
Thanks for deleting the posts and protecting the bootlickers from accountability, as you ever do.
Where the fuck does it belong then?
Is the deployment of the state troopers onto OUR FUCKING CAMPUS to arrest peacefully protesting students a forever verboten topic?
You are just making it such that the fascists and bootlickers get to dictate the terms of """polite""" conversation, you fucking useful idiot

Reminder this is the thread for isreal-hamas news.
Posts about protests in the US or middle east politics or how you would fix the world go elsewhere.
Motherfucker this happened on Speedway in front of Gregory Gym. This is the essence of Texas current events.
Sorry it makes you feel uncomfortable to see it happening.

Before BL starting issuing ban waves, is the state governor illegally arresting dozens of students and a few journalists off of Speedway Drive in front of the steps of Gregory Gymnasium NOT a current event worthy of discussion on a UT current events board?

4 minutes ago, ChickenSandwich said:If shouting anti-Jewish hate speech, should the University not intervene on University grounds? If praising the Hamas terrorist group etc? Is that fair to Jewish students? Would it be permitted for alternative races/groups if the Jewish population wasn’t the target?
I reject your framing and insistence that any speech against the genocide of Palestinian civilians is "anti-Jewish hate speech". Try again.
You used to be WAY better at justifying police brutality and beating up protesters, you're really missing a step nowadays

Just got this email University wide:
UTPD Notice of Dispersal Order
THIS IS A DISPERSAL ORDER FOR OCCUPANTS OF THE SOUTH MALL:
I am Assistant Chief Ashley Griffin and I represent the University of Texas at Austin Police Department. Your conduct is in violation of Penal Code Sections 42.01 Disorderly Conduct, 42.02 Riot, 42.03 Obstructing a Highway or other passageway.
I command you in the name of the People of the State of Texas to disperse, and if you do not, you shall be arrested for Violation of Penal Code Section 42.01 Disorderly Conduct, 42.02 Riot, 42.03 Obstructing a Highway or other passageway.Lmfao speedway, despite it's name, is not a highway or traffic passageway. It's mostly pedestrian traffic. I don't think that's gonna stand up to any level of scrutiny
They can't seriously be pulling that out and hoping to animate the "shoot the protesters that are on the roads" people, right?

1 minute ago, NeverMarryAStripper said:Jesus, that didn't look like it even came close to warranting a bunch of riot cops. We had a worse protest my freshman year when they appointed Lorene Rogers as President and the administration just basically ignored it until everyone decided it was time to go have a beer
It's almost like abbott is choosing to escalate this as a culture war issue, or something.
He's also framing this action as being "against antisemitism" which is bad because that means he thinks he's justified in arresting those protesters.

Nevermind that being against the genocide of Palestinian civilians is not antisemitism. This is a major fascist turn for abbott to be making this play and using these levers

It's performative theatrics that just happened to coincide with the opening of admissions of the UT School for Civic Life/Enagement (offshoot of Civitas) and UATX, both borne of the idea of freedom of speech and open exchange of ideas in higher ed. I'd laugh at the irony but those batons and zip ties look pretty fucking real to me.
I wonder how Hartzell is gonna square this with UT's Free Speech Week

Shout out to @bolverk for the timestamp, copying over here for context:
One final clip from the long video demonstrates how peaceful the students were when the yellow-vested organizers cleared a path for the cops.
Don't buy the narrative of it being a chaotic protest and take off your thinking cap, just so you can have a reason to be happy the cops are cracking heads.

UT Pro-Palestine Protest Thread
in Daily Texan
Posted · Edited by Captainant
@YGIFS you asked earlier what teakettling is, here's a student's firsthand account of how the cops were doing it today:
The cops were forcing students off of lawns and into sidewalks and streets so they could charge them with obstructing streets.
