Anti-Israel protesters at UCLA received ostensible combat training a day before the police finally shut down their radical encampment.

Drone footage from UCLA’s anti-Israel encampment recorded Tuesday showed students in a circle as two students in the center practiced/demonstrated certain fighting moves.

Watch:

BREAKING: Using a drone I was able to get EXCLUSIVE UCLA Pro Palestine encampment footage. They are TRAINING protestors in hand to hand combat as LAPD expected to tear down the encampment as soon as tonight, and potential fights with police expected.

The “Dealing with Cops” workshop was put together by the UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment, according to the New York Post.

“One of the demonstrators showed off the proper form students should take in a fight that protects their faces, with the man showing how the stance helps block a punch,” the Post notes. “Another man appeared to show how easily a person could be knocked back after their leg is grabbed.”

There was just one problem: According to critics, the punk kids and “soy boys” barely stood a chance against the police.

lol the soy boys can’t learn to fight in 10 mins

It is truly glorious to see the soy boys try to act tough

Laughable. It takes years to learn hand to hand combat

Do they know the masks need to come off if they’re gonna fight? Also, the green one is a little gordo. She may want to shed a few lbs or seek out a donut eater.

Having competed in Thai boxing for years, I know the soy boys, girls, and whatevers are not going to retain anything when a trained officer comes at them. I predict that 95% will turtle up while crying for mommy, and the others will just freeze while recording everything.

The following day, the school declared that the encampment was “unlawful and violates university policy.” Later that evening, pro-Israel supporters showed up to counter-protest.

“Just before midnight, a large group of counter-demonstrators, wearing black outfits and white masks, arrived on campus and tried to tear down the barricades surrounding the encampment,” according to the Los Angeles Times.

Reportedly “holding lumber and wearing goggles and helmets,” the pro-Hamas students then sought to defend their camp.

What proceeded afterward was hours of skirmishes involving objects being thrown, fireworks being set off, and pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protesters duking it out.

Anarchy, violence and chaos at UCLA.

For the past two hours. Nonstop. UCLA administration has not allowed LAPD to intervene. pic.twitter.com/Z2K668zgWn

When a jewish student ends up at the Emergency room, unconscious, hit violently in the head , is still FREE SPEECH ??????
These students from UCLA copy-pasted all the terrorists’ tactics. Violence just comes naturally.
This. Is. Not. Acceptable !

It took law enforcement hours to respond, mainly because the school didn’t request their help until some time after midnight. But when law enforcement did finally arrive, they arrested all the protesters and officially shut down the camp.

The students at UCLA weren’t the only ones who tried to take on the police. So did the students at Portland State University.

Watch below as Portland State University students equipped with bicycle helmets and makeshift shields tried to RUSH the police — yes, the POLICE.

Watch:

These protesters are such pussies. Watch this from UCLA. I can’t stop laughing at the cut up garbage can “shields.” pic.twitter.com/lwfrJUgBk7

To say that these fools triggered mockery would be a gross understatement.

Below is just a small sample of the mockery:

I hope the two out in front are girls. They run like girls.

They’re so playing with toys. Like make believe swords and shields. What loser role models have they had?

Soy boys to the rescue! Ready up! He/her/they/then/thee/hehe/soy soys/ soldiers!!!

lol, that guy who charged the cop who then took him down like he was a 6 year old child.

Some of these people need to spend less time protesting and more time hitting the gym.

— Think Before You Sleep (@TBYSTweet) May 3, 2024

The kids in my neighborhood and I used to do that when we were 10 or 11 years old. Not charging at police, just each other when we played knights and princesses. How old are they?

The ridiculousness even earned its own hilarious commentary. Enjoy!

SUPERCUT of all the best remixes of Hamas campus tards…
