I don't think we are appreciating how lovely the student protests are, and the main reason is that you must not pick a side for both are your enemies:

- The cops are the enforcers of Tyranny. If protests turn into riots, the blue will get wounded or killed.

- The students are the same ones that sold their Trump supporting relatives to the government after Jan 6, and cheered for their imprisonment.

This is like a demon infight in a tough Doom 2 WAD. You come back to pick up the survivors.
