By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened yesterday on the UT Austin campus. There are plenty of clips of police brutality floating around, including their brutalization and arrest of the Austin Fox affiliate’s reporters. So, I’ll spare you the trauma of reposting them, but we all must understand what happened yesterday and why.

First, it’s essential to know that the protest being held at UT Austin was to feature speakers and would have included a pizza party and arts and crafts tables.
