‘Death To The Police’: Antifa Mob Takes Over University Building, Lights Fires Over Gaza War

Police arrested dozens of protesters at the University of Washington (UW) on Monday night after an Antifa-style mob lit fires and took over a building to protest Israel.

“About 30 individuals who occupied” an engineering studies building were arrested and will be referred for prosecution, a UW spokesperson said in a Tuesday statement. Videos posted on X by journalists showed black-clothed agitators leading the riot and calling for violence against police, the latest in a long line of unlawful outbursts targeting UW over its supposed financial ties to Israel.

“Death to the police! Abolish the police,” one protester yelled at officers outdoors as they cleared others from the building, according to video footage shared by Cam Higby on X. “Every cop death is a victory for the resistance,” a protester can be heard shouting.

Protesters were seen starting a “dumpsterfire” on the campus, camping out in the engineering building and blocking entrances with objects such as propped-up chairs and their bodies, footage shows. Protesters also displayed a Palestinian flag in a window of the facility.
