In May, State riot police violently broke up a peaceful anti-genocide encampment at U Mass Amherst & arrested 134 people.
The big question was, Why?
The end of term was three days away.
Prof Emeritus Sut Jhally has an answer:

@DrALJONES that doesn't make any sense, though, neither in terms of the connection between the encampment and intellectual argument nor in terms of elite intellectual argument versus military deployment.
Anyway, trespassing is not peaceful, and minimally disruptive is still disruptive.
This sounds like a person trying really hard to jump through logical hoops to justify just doing what they want to do and getting mad when finding that they don't actually have the level of privilege they think they do.
