The #Northeastern police department carefully separated tents and sleeping bags from backpacks etc. when they swept the encampment, then returned the backpacks etc. to students afterward while tossing the camping stuff to make it harder to restart the encampment.
I don't recall the same deference being shown to unhoused people when tent cities are swept by police.
I don't recall the same deference being shown to BLM protests.
I wonder what's different about the #StudentSpring protesters. 🤔
