UT-Austin Protestors Hit With Pepper Spray by Police, Have Meltdowns When Carted Off

Consequences came for some of the radical leftist Gaza protesters on Monday at the University of Texas at Austin.

They had moved in on them last week, but they were back.

Looks like the University had finally had enough with these folks, the University police issued a dispersal order after people tried to set up tents, and police including the Texas DPS moved in to try to clear the South Mall area.

Warning: Leftists crying and cursing in the following videos.

They picked up and dragged out dozens of people and arrested at least 40 people. Protesters cower and scream as the police drag them out one by one. They screamed "This is a peaceful protest" and "Let them go!" even as they tried to resist arrest and kicked at the police.

One of them screamed, "What the #$%^ is wrong with you?" Um, no, sir, it's not the cops with the problems here. It's you guys who have issues supporting this.

But this one was certainly something special, as the police dragged someone off as the person screamed, "They're choking me with my scarves!!!"

Likely dozens arrested now, many of them carried out by hands and feet. Awaiting updated arrest count from UTPD. A Travis County jail bus was on scene presumably to transport the arrested en masse pic.twitter.com/dBfOhOLIHC

The police didn't appear to be doing any such thing but points for drama. This is what they need to do in Columbia and the other places that don't seem to be getting a handle on this. You hear someone calling for a "medic"; if she's talking that clearly, it's probably not choking her.

The police had to deploy the pepper spray when the protesters tried to block the vans taking away the people arrested from leaving. So if they were involved in that they were likely involved in trying to obstruct police.

Then there was this high drama where they treated this kid like he'd been blinded by a grenade as opposed to just feeling some pepper spray.

Seriously, if they flip out over this, and they want people to think they're tough?

We'll keep you apprised of what goes on there, but it's looking like the protesters did not have an enjoyable day.
