Historically, when Students at US Universities have protested, there has been a common refrain that "Outside Agitators" are to blame.
Experts say it's a convenient way for officials to delegitimise the motivations of some political movements and justify calling in law enforcement to stop direct actions that are largely nonviolent and engaging in constitutionally protected speech.
During the Civil Rights Movement, protests involved local community members and organisers from other parts of the state or country. Officials often targeted this, alleging that the protests were orchestrated by outsiders.
The label was used as a weapon against community members who spoke up or provided support to protesters and organisers, says Dylan C Penningroth, an author and historian. Nearly half a century later, the 2014 Killing of Michael Brown By a Police Officer in Ferguson, Missouri, sparked widespread protests against police brutality.
Again, "Outside Agitators" were frequently invoked and blamed for destruction, looting and the burning of buildings. The same language was used to describe protests in the wake of the 2020 Killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. Amid the current US student protests against the Terrorist, Fascist, Apartheid, War Criminal, the Bastard Child of the United States & the West and the Illegal Regime of the Zionist 🐖 🐷 🐖 🐗 Isra-hell, there are a Handful of examples of Officials Using the Outside Agitator Rhetoric Nationwide.
In referencing the protests on campuses at Atlanta's Emory University, Boston's Northeastern University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, School Officials and Law Enforcement have made Inaccurate and Unsubstantiated Claims about the Presence of Non-Students.
Similarly, New York City Mayor Boak Bollocks and an Idiot to His Core Eric Adams repeatedly cited the presence of "Outside Agitators" on New York Campuses to justify the use of police force, with officers in riot gear swarming Columbia University's Campus, clearing out its encampment, and arresting more than 100 people on April 30.

George Washington Fields (April 25, 1854 - August 19, 1932) was born enslaved in Hanover County, Virginia. He was one of 11 children of Martha Ann Berkley and Washington Fields. He grew up on Clover Plain Plantation in northeastern Virginia.
In July 1863, his mother escaped along with him and five other siblings, they reached the safety of Fortress Monroe. Fortress Monroe was one of the first Union-occupied fortifications that received escaping enslaved. Those who arrived (1861-62) were labeled “contraband” and their status as free people was disputed. They were granted freedom by the Emancipation Proclamation.
The family settled in Hampton. His father arrived the next year followed soon afterwards by four siblings whom slavery had earlier dispersed.
He enrolled at Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, graduated, and headed north for full-time work. A series of menial jobs at famous resorts and as a manservant for prominent families led to a position (1881-87) as a butler for the governor of New York. He continued to educate himself through tutors and schools, studying everything from French to medicine. He settled on law as a career, he read law with a local attorney.
He graduated as a member of Cornell University Law School’s inaugural class and its first African American graduate. He returned to Hampton to practice law, joining his older brother who was an attorney and state senator. He was admitted to the Virginia bar. He represented Elizabeth City and James City in the Virginia House of Delegates.
He married Sarah (Sallie) Haws Baker, a graduate of Hampton Institute. Together they had two children.
In 1896 he lost his eyesight. He served on the board of the Weaver Orphan Home, a Trustee and Superintendent of Sunday School of the Third Baptist Church, and. He wrote “Come On, Children”: The Autobiography of George Washington Fields, Born a Slave in Hanover County, Virginia. The original unpublished manuscript was found in the Hampton University Archives. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

I was the first Biden to ever graduate from college, taking out loans with my dad and my — all through school to get me there.  My junior year spring break, I fell in love at first sight, literally, with a woman I adored.  I graduated from law school in her hometown, and I got married and took a job at a law firm in my hometown, Wilmington, Delaware.  But then everything changed. 
One of my heroes — and he was my hero — a Baptist minister, a Morehouse man, Dr. Martin Luther King — in April of my law school graduation year, he was murdered. 
My city of Wilmington — and we were a — to our great shame, a slave state, and we were segregated.  Delaware erupted into flames when he was assassinated, literally. 
We’re the only city in America where the National Guard patrolled every street corner for nine full months with drawn bayonets, the longest stretch in any American city since the Civil War.  Dr. le- — Dr. King’s legacy had a profound impact on me and my generation, whether you’re Black or white.  I left the fancy law firm I had just joined and decided to become a public defender and then a county councilman, working to change our state’s politics to embrace the cause of civil rights.  The Democratic Party in Delaware was a Southern Democratic Party at the time.  We wanted to change it to become a Northeastern Democratic Party. 
Then, we were trying to get someone to run for the United States Senate the year Nixon ran.  I was 29 years of age.  I had no notion of running — I love reading about everybody knew I was going to run; I didn’t know I was going to run — (laughter) — when a group of senior members of the Democratic Party came to me.  They couldn’t find anybody to run and said, “You should run.”  Nixon won my state by 60 percent of the vote.  We won by 3,100 votes.  We won by the thinnest of margins but with a broad coalition, including students from the best HBCU in America, Delaware State University.  You guys are good, but — (laughter) — they got me elected.  And you all — you all think I’m kidding.  (Laughter.)  I’m not kidding…..
……But I also know some of you ask: What is democracy if we can’t stop wars that break out and break our hearts?
In a democracy, we debate and dissent about America’s role in the world. 
I want to say this very clearly.  I support peaceful, nonviolent protest.  Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them.  I determined to make my c- — my administration look like America.  I have more African Americans in high places, including on the Court, than any president in American history — (applause) — because I need the input. What’s happening in Gaza and Israel is heartbreaking.  Hamas’s vicious attack on Israel, killing innocent lives and holding people hostage.  I was there nine days after, s- — pictures of tying a mother and a daughter with a rope, pouring kerosene on them, burning them and watching as they died.  Innocent Palestinians caught in the middle of all this: men, women, and children killed or displaced in despite — in desperate need of water, food, and medicine.  It’s a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.  That’s why I’ve called for an immediate ceasefire — an immediate ceasefire to stop the fighting — (applause) — bring the hostages home.  And I’ve been working on a deal as we speak, working around the clock to lead an international effort to get more aid into Gaza, rebuild Gaza.   I’m also working around the clock for more than just one ceasefire.  I’m working to bring the region together.  I’m working to build a lasting, durable peace.  Because the question is, as you see what’s going on in Israel today: What after?  What after Hamas?  What happens then?  What happens in Gaza?  What rights do the Palestinian people have?  I’m working to make sure we finally get a two-state solution — the only solution — (applause) — for two people to live in peace, security, and dignity.  This is one of the hardest, most complicated problems in the world.  And there’s nothing easy about it.  I know it angered and frustrates many of you, including my family.  But most of all, I know it breaks your heart.  It breaks mine as well.  Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problems.  It’s about challenging anger, frustration, and heartbreak to find a solution.  It’s about doing what you believe is right, even when it’s hard and lonely. You’re all future leaders, every one of you graduating today.  And that’s not hyperbole.  You’re future leaders, all of you.  You’ll face complicated, tough moments.  In these moments, you’ll listen to others, but you’ll have to decide, guided by knowledge, conviction, principle, and your own moral compass.
And the desire to know what freedom is, what it can be is the heart and soul of why this college was founded in the first place, proving that a free nation is born in the hearts of men spellbound by freedom.  But the — that’s the magic of Morehouse.  That’s the magic of America.
But let’s be clear what happens to you and your family when old ghosts in new garments seize power, extremists come for the freedoms you thought belonged to you and everyone. 
Today in Georgia, they won’t allow water to be available to you while you wait in line to vote in an election.  What in the hell is that all about?  (Applause.)  I’m serious.  Think about it.  And then the constant attacks on Black election workers who count your vote.
Insurrectionists who storm the Capitol with Confederate flags are called “patriots” by some.  Not in my house.  (Applause.)  Black police officers, Black veterans protecting the Capitol were called another word, as you’ll recall. 
They also say out loud, these other groups, immigrants “poison the blood” of our country, like the Grand Wizard and fascists said in the past.  But you know and I know we all bleed the same color.  In America, we’re all created equal.  (Applause.)
Extremists close the doors of opportunity; strike down affirmative action; attack the values of diversity, equality, and inclusion."

Anti-Israel protests continue, but various faculty members object to police being sent in
COGwriter
The Associated Press posted the following:
Anti-war protesters dig in as some schools close encampments after reports of antisemitic activity
April 27, 2024
NEW YORK (AP) — As students protesting the Israel-Hamas war at universities across U.S. dug in Saturday and vowed to keep their demonstrations going, some universities shut down encampments after reports of antisemitic activity among the protesters.
With the the death toll mounting in the war in Gaza, protesters nationwide are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus.
Early Saturday, police in riot gear cleared an encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston. Several dozen students shouted and booed at them from a distance, but the scene was otherwise not confrontational.
The school said in a statement that the demonstration, which began two days ago, had become “infiltrated by professional organizers” with no affiliation to the school and protesters had used antisemitic slurs. …
Decisions to call in law enforcement, leading to hundreds of arrests nationwide, have prompted school faculty members at universities in California, Georgia and Texas to initiate or pass votes of no confidence in their leadership. They are largely symbolic rebukes, without the power to remove their presidents. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinian-campus-student-protests-war-2ab919ad849c50c9d177a32c0309bd1e
Notice also the following:
100 protesters detained as Northeastern Police break up Israel-Hamas war protest
April 27, 2024
Police broke up a protest against the Israel-Hamas war at Northeastern University following similar breakups at other Greater Boston universities including Emerson and Tufts and other universities around the country.
The break-up of the encampment began earlier this morning with the clearing of an encampment on the campus’ Centennial Common. The university said that 100 people were detained by police in that early morning action. Anyone with a university ID was released and “will face disciplinary proceedings within the university but not legal action. Those who refused to disclose their affiliation were arrested.”
The university’s statement added that the activities of the protesters had grown to a level that the school “cannot tolerate.”
“Earlier this morning the Northeastern University Police Department (NUPD) — in cooperation with local law enforcement partners — began clearing an unauthorized encampment on the university’s Boston campus,” Renata Nyul, the school’s vice president for communications, wrote in a statement shared with the Herald. “What began as a student demonstration two days ago, was infiltrated by professional organizers with no affiliation to Northeastern.”
“Last night, the use of virulent antisemitic slurs, including ‘Kill the Jews,’ crossed the line,” the statement continued. “We cannot tolerate this kind of hate on our campus.” https://www.bostonherald.com/2024/04/27/100-protesters-detained-as-northeastern-police-break-up-israel-hamas-war-protest/
Humboldt faculty condemn police violence against students, join demands for boycott and divestment from Israel
April 26, 2024
To: The Cal Poly Humboldt community and Administrators Tom Jackson, Jr., University President Jenn Capps, Provost & Vice President, Academic Affairs Chrissy Holliday, Vice President, Enrollment Management & Student Success Frank Whitlatch, Executive Director & Secretary, Board of Directors, Cal Poly Humboldt Foundation
As faculty at Cal Poly Humboldt, we deplore the use of physical violence by university, local, and regional police officers and sheriffs and the deployment of other extreme tactics such as helicopters, to surveil students, escalate tensions, and criminalize free speech exercised by students calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. We also find unacceptable the attempt to shut down student voices by shutting down campus. …
As witnessed on scene and reported on police scanners, police scrambled WiFi signals on campus to inhibit communication, a disturbing and even dystopian tactic. …
We heard our students last night speak to the visceral solidarity they felt with Palestinians as Humboldt students witnessed the level of militarized police violence on their campus in protection of property instead of lives and justice. … We reiterate and build upon the demands of those sitting in at Siemens Hall: full disclosure of CPH’s ties with Israel; an academic boycott to end institutional connections with Israeli universities including CSU study abroad in Israel; divestment from companies profiting from and upholding the occupation of Palestine; dropping charges against student organizers; and advocating for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and end to the occupation of Palestine. https://mondoweiss.net/2024/04/cal-poly-humboldt-faculty-condemns-police-violence-against-students-joins-demands-for-boycott-and-divestment-from-israel/
Violent Arrest of Emory Professor Spotlights Brutality of Police Crackdown on Campus Protests
April 26, 2024
Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin approached several police officers who were holding a student down on the ground on Thursday and demanded an explanation—but by the end of the day videos of her own arrest became some of the most widely circulated images of the rapidly spreading anti-war movement on college campuses across the U.S.
As she knelt down to ask the university officers, “What are you doing?” another law enforcement agent grabbed her arm and pushed her away before repeatedly ordering her to “get on the ground.”
“Stop it!” Fohlin yelled before the officer pushed her to the ground and called for more police to help subdue her.
Fohlin then screamed, “Oh my God!” as the police pushed her down and told the police that she was a professor at the university as they held her on the ground. …
The American Association of University Professors called the arrest “antithetical to the mission of higher education.” https://www.commondreams.org/news/emory-protests-arrests
Pro-Palestine students and UT faculty told The Hill that Wednesday’s protests turned chaotic because of the police response; pro-Israel students insisted that the police had kept the campus safe.
At 57 protesters arrested Wednesday have had their charges dropped.
The Tribune and other local media reported that on Wednesday there “were no signs of violence until authorities armed with batons intervened, handcuffing students and pushing protesters back.”
Pro-Israel students expressed support for the police response. The arrests on Wednesday “made people realize that they can’t get away with doing whatever they want to do,” Etai, a junior at UT Austin, told The Hill. He said he had seen protesters shoving the police, throwing horse manure, and telling him to “go back to Poland.” https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4622593-ut-austin-pro-palestine-protests-mass-arrest-divided-police-role/
296 faculty members and 884 students at Humbolt signed the letter to the heads of that university.
Some of the protests about the police being called in reminded me of something from the old Radio Church of God, many decades ago, written by the late Garner Ted Armstrong:
“POLICE BRUTALITY!” “Poverty!” “Unequal opportunity!” “Illiteracy!” “Poor housing!” “Police Chief Parkerl” These are hurled back and forth as causes of the race riots in Los Angeles. Read, in this article, the REAL cause, and the powder keg of violence that could explode where YOU live! …
The cause: HUMAN NATURE. And remember, once again, just what IS human nature ! Human nature is a mixture of vanity, jealousy, lust and greed. Jeremiah was inspired to write, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it” (Jer. 17:9) .
James said it is the NATURE of man to rebel, to riot, to fight wars! ” From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not , because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts” (Jas. 4:1-3).
The Bible is the book about human nature. It explains what human nature really IS, how it is hostile and angry toward law. The apostle Paul said, “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be!” (Rom. 8 :7.) And the lusts, jealousies, resentments and frustrations of human nature are not limited to anyone race. But they are most assuredly aggravated by race hatred. …
Racial tensions in the United States are being aggravated during these modern times, not quieted. Bigotry and bias are INCREASING, not decreasing. …
The plain truth of the matter is that the family is breaking down and disintegrating among all racial communities, around the world!
And remember , too, that Almighty God seriously indicts His people ISRAEL, more than any others for this breakdown in the family! He said, through Isaiah , “As for MY people [and he was referring to the House of Israel !], children are their oppressors, and women rule over them, o my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths” (Isa. 3:12). ..broken homes-that is, homes in which one or the other parent is absent! And what effect would this have on the morals, the character, the education, the economic status of all these children?
The Watts riot is one resounding answer! …
Whether we like to believe it or not, your Bible prophesies we are headed for some of the bloodiest riots, mass uprisings, and rampant crime in our big cities that this world has ever seen! …
To a certain degree, the only reason THOUSANDS more humans do not openly steal, rob, burn or kill is the FEAR OF REPRISAL! They fear being CAUGHT at it. But when it seems EVERYONE ELSE is suddenly defying the l aw, it’s much easier for many people who normally might not steal to suddenly give vent to their inherent nature! …
Human nature IS hate, animosity toward authority, jealousy, vanity , lust and greed! Human nature IS intolerant. It is biased! It is filled with SELF , and terribly bigoted! And human nature is not limit ed to one race!
Dr . Robert M. Page once said, “So long as we have human nature, we shall have war.”
But God’s Word revealed the basic truth of that statement centuries before. James asks, “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence , even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts” (Jas. 4 : 1-3). …
When a white man murders, he is a white murderer. And when a black man murders, he is a black murderer. The color of a man’s skin is only one more description of him as a person, as a human being- like his height, weight, shape, place of birth or age. But whether he is white or black, red, pink, polka dotted or blue-if he breaks the law, if he resists arrest, if he loots, robs, kills or steals, then he is guilty of LAWBREAKING-NOT “guilty” merely because he is a member of one race or another.  (Armstrong GT. The RACE RIOTS of the FUTURE! Plain Truth, October 1965)
Many situations discussed in the above article are much worse now.
Now, let me say that, yes, police brutality exists. However, at least most of the news clips I have watched pointed to violence from the protesters more than the police.
And, having protests that call for the elimination of Jews and/or the nation of Israel is wrong and inciting a climate of hate and violence.
People are supposed to love one another.
But many do not understand how God views race–for details, check out the online sermon: Race and Grace; Do you view race as God does?
As far as riots go, they are expected. Notice the following prophecy:
25 There shall be terror within (Deuteronomy 32:25)
We are seeing more and more of that in the USA.
As far as violence go, notice the following from prophetic writings:
23 ‘Make a chain, For the land is filled with crimes of blood, And the city is full of violence. 24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles, And they will possess their houses; I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease, And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)
13 … evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13)
While there can be a time for protests (cf. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), the results of increased protests at university campuses are not good.
Jesus taught:
25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. (Matthew 12:25)
We are seeing more divide in the USA and parts of it certainly appear to be intentional. Much of it is ideological. The USA is becoming less and less united and more polarized.
This will not end well for the USA (cf. Habakkuk 2:6-8; Daniel 11:39).
Violent protests are not the answer no matter what happens with the USA election.
The Kingdom of God is the Solution.
Watch, repent, and pray (cf. Luke 21:36).

Placement Assistance: The institute’s placement cell assists students in securing internships and job placements in law firms, corporate legal departments, and various legal organizations, ensuring a smooth transition from education to the legal profession.
Location Advantage: Geeta Institute of Law’s location in Haryana offers students proximity to Delhi NCR, a hub of law firms, courts, and corporate offices, providing numerous career opportunities in the field of law.

A grad student ‘full of dreams and hopes’ was fatally struck by a police car. What an officer said about her later has sparked outrage from Seattle to Capitol Hill
Rallying for justice and a full investigation
Tumblr media
Protesters march late last week through downtown Seattle after the release of body camera footage of a city officer apparently joking about the death of Jaahnavi Kandula.Lindsey Wasson/AP
The Indian Consulate General of India in San Francisco has called for a “thorough investigation” into Kandula’s death and demanded action against those involved in the incident.
“Recent reports including in media of the handling of Ms Jaahnavi Kandula’s death in a road accident in Seattle in January are deeply troubling,” the consulate wrote September 13 on X, previously known as Twitter. “We have taken up the matter strongly with local authorities in Seattle & Washington State as well as senior officials in Washington DC.”
Kandula’s death and Auderer’s taped comments about it led Democratic US Rep. Ro Khanna to remember his own father, who migrated to the US in his 20s, Khanna wrote on X.
“The life of every Indian immigrant has infinite value,” the California congressman wrote. “Anyone who thinks that a human life has ‘limited value’ should not be serving in law enforcement.”
US Rep. Pramila Jayapal also issued a demand for justice for Kandula, saying the case made her “sick to my stomach,” the Washington state Democrat wrote on X.
Seattle Police, “recognizing the public concern around this video,” released Auderer’s body camera footage on September 11 “in the interest of transparency,” it said in a statement. The department declined to comment about the timing of the release.
The department “has been in touch with the family of the victim pedestrian and continues to honor their expressed request for privacy,” it said. “As others in the accountability system proceed with their work, we again extend our deepest sympathy for this tragic collision.”
It’s not clear whether the officer whose vehicle hit Kandula is being criminally charged; CNN has reached out to Seattle Police for comment. In the driver’s case, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is “independently reviewing those case materials now for a charging decision,” it told CNN on Wednesday, adding the Office of Police Accountability is responsible for investigating Auderer’s body camera footage.
‘A young soul full of dreams and hopes’
Kandula was from India’s Kurnool District in Andhra Pradesh and spoke Telugu, the president of the Telugu Association of North America, Niranjan Srungavarapu, told CNN. The group helped return her remains to India in January, he said.
Kandula had come to the United States in 2021 to pursue a master’s degree in information systems in the College of Engineering at Northeastern University’s Seattle campus, according to the school. She would have graduated in December.
Tumblr media

On campus, Kandula had shown “tremendous engagement” and everyone “loved her bubbly laugh, sense of humor and infectious personality,” the school’s dean, Dave Thurman, said shortly after she was killed.
The university plans to award Kandula her degree posthumously and present it to her family, it said Thursday in a statement. The university’s main campus in Boston on Tuesday hosted a “moment of reflection, remembrance, and unity” to honor Kandula’s memory, the school told CNN.
Kandula “warmed the hearts of every person she came in contact with,” a family statement in January said, according to CNN affiliate KING. “She had an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life.”
“She was a daughter to a single mother who teaches elementary school in India,” the statement continued, and “in spite of earning less than 200 USD per month, her mother educated Jaahnavi” and encouraged her to pursue higher education in the US in hopes that she would “have a better future and better life abroad.”
