‘Officials say some protesters charged at officers and one was arrested after attempting to strike an officer’
Pomona College officials had already relocated their graduation ceremony from the main campus to the Shrine Auditorium because pro-Palestinian protesters camped out on the Los Angeles-based school’s main stage refused to leave.
After the new location was announced, the anti-Israel activists hunted the ceremony down to the Shrine, prompting a clash with police on Sunday. The activists refused to disperse despite several requests from police to do so.
ABC 7 reported:
Officials say some protesters charged at officers and one was arrested after attempting to strike an officer.
Chants of “From the river to the sea” were heard in the crowd, a controversial slogan which some say is just a cry for Palestinian freedom but in other interpretations is seen as an antisemitic call for the destruction of Israel.
Some protesters were also attempting to block entrance to the auditorium, police say.
