Law enforcement officers take position during a protest at an encampment in support of Palestinians at the University of California, Los Angeles , on May 2, 2024.
Local television station KABC-TV estimated 300 to 500 were hunkered down inside the camp, while around 2,000 more had gathered outside the barricades in support. Hundreds of other pro-Palestinian activists who assembled outside the tent city jeered police with shouts of"shame on you", some banging on drums and waving Palestinian flags, as officers marched onto the campus grounds.A much smaller group of demonstrators waving Israeli flags urged on the police to shut down the encampment, yelling,"Hey hey, ho-ho, the occupation has got to go".
A spokesperson for California Governor Gavin Newsom later criticized the"limited and delayed campus law enforcement response" to the unrest as"unacceptable".
