Police in riot gear meet Pro-Palestine protestors at the U of A [Video]

Update 8:15 a.m.

Our Good Morning Tucson crews arrived to the UA campus around 3:00 a.m. and found local and state police agencies packing up. Had you gone to bed last night and woken up for a jog around campus as the sun rose, you wouldn’t be able to tell that an encampment had ever existed but for the two floodlights near the entrance to campus.

It seems that within an hour law enforcement managed to not only disperse the protesters but also clean up everything left behind.

Update: 2:15 a.m.

Police have arrested some of the protesters. We are working to confirm how many have been arrested thus far.

We have received a statement from the University:

Update: 1:07 a.m.

More police continue to arrive and DPS is now on the scene.

Update: 11:59 p.m.

Protesters grew more violent towards police presences at the scene. KGUN 9 crews live at the scene reported seeing them throwing trash at officers.
