what is extraordinary to me, as we brought it to viewers live by kttv picture, not a single police officer was anywhere to be seen for 3-1/2 hours. i saw two lapd cars from one helicopter shot, they left the scene no highway patrol, no los angeles police department, no campus police department, nobody there as the two sides fought pitched battle for 3-1/2 hours. we heard from mayor karen bass that nlapd was responding three hours after the fighting started. it was extraordinary to watch, this is a public university in the uc system. it was a battlefield for hours and nobody step the in to help. it is not coincidental it was the end of passover and jewish students had been prevented from walking walking campus. many sympathetic to them and members of the jewish community decided enough is enough and ucla administration is not doing anything, law enforcement is not doing anything for us, we need to take a stand and we saw scenes of violence on campus of a major public university in the united states. embarrassment around the world and propaganda victory for hamas. >> steve: you set the stage
