Students and academics at the University of Alberta reacted with outrage on Saturday after Edmonton police dismantled a pro-Palestinian encampment on campus, describing the operation as violent and contesting assertions that demonstrators were breaking the law.

Organizers said police fired tear gas and wielded batons and bicycles against students at the university’s north campus quad shortly after arriving at 4:30 a.m., resulting in one hospitalization.

I wonder why?

It's so disorienting that the IJV spokesperson quoted in the article is named Kahane.
