Police have been deployed on US university campuses amid violent clashes between pro-Palestinian students and counter-protesters. At UCLA, police cars patrolled the campus after overnight clashes, while at Columbia University, police cleared out protesters. Students are divided, with some seeing the police presence as necessary for safety, while others criticize their tactics as "rough and aggressive". The police intervention marks a new phase in the weeks-long protests against Israel's war with Hamas, which have spread to multiple US campuses. The situation remains tense, with students and police on high alert.
