Law enforcement agencies at the University of California, Los Angeles faced off against a left-wing mob on Thursday morning as nationwide anti-Israel protests escalated. The situation escalated as police in riot gear knocked down a plywood barrier surrounding the anti-Israel encampment at UCLA and entered the area after hours of a tense standoff with hundreds of protesters on campus.
After entering the encampment in Dickson Plaza, police appeared to withdraw from the area, leading to another standoff with the protesters. Some individuals in the crowd threw water bottles and other objects at the officers as they regrouped outside the encampment and the plywood barrier was put back up.
