No one will take credit for calling state police on UVa campus protesters: Neither the governor's office nor the school's president nor the university police chief have taken credit for the decision
The difference between these cowards and a whistleblower say at Boeing is that the whistleblowers go public regardless of the consequences. The kids protesting Israeli actions are putting their careers and futures on the line - a lot of them are being arrested and booked for what they're doing.
Meanwhile the people who called the police get to hide who they are.
State police said they received a request for assistance from UVa police at approximately 9 a.m. Saturday. That was an hour after the university says UVa Police Chief Tim Longo asked the protesters to voluntarily remove the tents and after “officials began attempts to collect the tents and were met with agitation and chanting from demonstrators.”
Oh no!! Not agitation and chanting!!!! How threatening! Whatever shall we do?!
That's definitely one path to go down, another way I would try to figure it out would be to subpoena all the officers who were there that day and make them tell you who gave them their orders, which will probably lead you to some field commander or another mid level person who was given orders who could be subpoenad and asked the same question, and so on
I think one thing we all should have learned from the past 8 years or so is that there are no dumb questions when it comes to the checks and balances on our various government entities and who is actually going to follow whose authority
