At least 50 professors arrested at campus protests across the country, according to a CNN review of police records, court filings, and news reports.

As police cracked down on anti-war protests on college campuses across the US in recent weeks, among those arrested were a pair of silver-haired 65-year-old professors armed only with their cell phones.

Annelise Orleck was knocked to the ground and restrained with plastic handcuffs at a protest at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. She later complained of whiplash.

Steve Tamari was tackled by officers and taken into custody at a demonstration at Washington University in St. Louis, an attack he said resulted in multiple broken ribs and a broken hand.

Orleck and Tamari are among at least 50 professors arrested at campus protests across the country, according to a CNN review of police records, court filings, and news reports. (Since April 18, more than 2,400 students have been arrested amid protests on more than 50 campuses.) In some cases, professors said they were actively participating in protests based on their own beliefs. Others said they attended to show support for their students.

          I’m trying, but people are too captured by their social algo to get it thru their thick skulls LMFAO. Now we’re seeing even the UN coming around to reality, revising their figures but I won’t hold my breath that it’ll get picked up as we’ve clearly seen the bias has a chokehold on the ignorant.

            The numbers are them just going through the remains and marking who’s been identified not changing how many have been killed.

            So maybe actually educate yourself?

              They have cut the number of dead children in half. They’ve reduced the number of women by a significant factor .

              It appears you’re the one that’s uneducated or possibly unfamiliar with what’s happening as these are recent developments but there 's zero question that the claims being made by Hamas are not true and even their biggest supporters at the UN have been forced to admit that now.

              With the revision of the numbers, what we now have is further proof that Israel has approached urban war with more care and concern for civilians than in any other conflict in modern history. West point Military academy as well as the Royal commission in the UK are both on record stating that to already be the case for these revised numbers.

                U.N. spokesperson Farhan Haq said the ministry’s figures - cited regularly by the U.N. its reporting on the seven-month-long conflict - now reflected a breakdown of the 24,686 deaths of “people who have been fully identified.” “There’s about another 10,000 plus bodies who still have to be fully identified, and so then the details of those - which of those are children, which of those are women - that will be re-established once the full identification process is complete,” Haq told reporters in New York./

                  Yes, they’ve cut the number of women and children by 50%. They were previously parroting a terrorist organizations talking points.

                  I’m not going to hold my breath. Waiting for news agencies to share this news. But all the people hand waving about women and children being targeted. Can rightfully shut the fuck up about it right now? Because even the UN who are quite clearly hand in glove with Hamas at this point can’t backup the claims being made by the useful idiots on campus.

                    So cite where the deaths have been halfed because I already put in where it wasn’t the case.

                    Oh cool you are denying Israel has been killing women and children
