From April to May 2024, around 2,500 people were arrested for participating in Palestine-centered protests. Furthermore, at the UCLA protests last May, around 25 individuals were hospitalized due to the LAPD's usage of rubber bullets to clear out protestors. The police are not there to protect the students, and it is clear through the violence that they are using against them when they are applying their rights to free speech.

The use of the word "should" in the title makes this a very obvious opinion piece. It cannot be independently verified if police should or shouldn't be at a campus protest.
Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)
