Escalating Tensions and Confrontations
The student protesters at UCLA, concerned about potential attacks, started preparing for confrontations by building barricades and gathering supplies. When the police gave an ultimatum to leave or face arrest, the protesters put on protective gear and prepared for a confrontation. As the police tried to dismantle the encampment, the protesters used shields, umbrellas, and strobe lights to push the police back multiple times. Eventually, after a four-hour standoff, the police managed to push the protesters out of the encampment, arresting about 200 protesters.
