US police made several violent arrests at Emory University in Decatur, Georgia, after students set up a tent camp in solidarity with Palestine and to protest the construction of a police training center.
Emory students set up several tents on campus lawns Thursday to protest the university's ties to Israel as well as Cop City, an Atlanta police and fire department training center being built on a 171-acre site in the woods southeast of Atlanta.
The students posted signs such as "Solidarity Camp with Gaza" and "Refuse to Die.", pictures and made the following statements:
We, students at several Atlanta universities and community members, are organizing against Cop City and the genocide of Palestinians by U.S. imperialism. We demand full institutional rejection of Israeli apartheid and Cop City at all Atlanta colleges and universities
