Several police officers arrived at the encampment on the campus’ Library Mall around 7 a.m. and played a recorded message on a loop saying it was a final warning and that protesters were in violation of university code, WISC-TV reports.
About 20 minutes later, nearly 60 police officers, some with riot shields, arrived and began removing tents and other items, the station reports.
Video from WISC-TV shows police with riot shields pushing against protesters and the protesters pushing back while chanting slogans, including “Free Free Palestine.” The station says that at least 10 protesters were taken away by police with their hands zip-tied by officers.
