Doesn’t matter who gets the medal, the Job got done 👍.
The difference between these cowards and a whistleblower say at Boeing is that the whistleblowers go public regardless of the consequences. The kids protesting Israeli actions are putting their careers and futures on the line - a lot of them are being arrested and booked for what they’re doing.
Meanwhile the people who called the police get to hide who they are.
Then it didn’t happen. There were no cops. It was all a hallucination. What a relief! /s
I bet they won’t, no one wants to be in the history books for being a massive asshole and free speech abolitionist.
And someone’s name(s) will be in the genocide category.
I think the issue here is the word “credit”. It’s blame. No one wants blamed.
Dumb question: could it have been one of the counter protestors or even someone who wasn’t even there that called them in?
Could someone have just claimed to have the authority to call them in.
Stupid question I know.
How do we go about proving who called them in?
I think one thing we all should have learned from the past 8 years or so is that there are no dumb questions when it comes to the checks and balances on our various government entities and who is actually going to follow whose authority
There should be a record of the call. Look at the records.
That’s definitely one path to go down, another way I would try to figure it out would be to subpoena all the officers who were there that day and make them tell you who gave them their orders, which will probably lead you to some field commander or another mid level person who was given orders who could be subpoenad and asked the same question, and so on
Yeah like that’s ever going to happen in this system.
Fair enough, there’s no good reason something like that wouldn’t be possible, but there certainly are reasons it will probably never happen
State police said they received a request for assistance from UVa police at approximately 9 a.m. Saturday. That was an hour after the university says UVa Police Chief Tim Longo asked the protesters to voluntarily remove the tents and after “officials began attempts to collect the tents and were met with agitation and chanting from demonstrators.”
Oh no!! Not agitation and chanting!!! How threatening! Whatever shall we do?!
Sounds like it’s time for a class action lawsuit.
Sounds like a group effort then.
They know how this is going to look in the history books, and they don’t want their name in there next to their deeds.
