Police arrested over 300 pro-Palestinian demonstrators Wednesday night, surpassing a total of 2,000 arrests across US college campuses. Biden emphasized the distinction between peaceful and violent protests, stating that order must prevail.
President Biden criticized violent protests, defining peaceful protests as protected actions. He emphasized that causing chaos, vandalism, and shutting down campuses is not considered peaceful demonstration.
Despite some clashes, 99% of the protests were deemed peaceful by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project. Protests aimed to push colleges to divest from Gaza war-related businesses.
