A chaotic scene at UNC-Chapel Hill continued Tuesday afternoon, hours after police began detaining pro-Palestinian protesters on campus.
University police said 30 people were taken into custody Tuesday morning because they refused to leave. On Tuesday afternoon, already tense situation escalated after the American flag was lowered and replaced with a Palestinian flag on the main quad. Dozens of police officers entered the main quad along with UNC Interim Chancellor Lee Roberts. Classes were canceled for the rest of the day and non-mandatory operations were suspended.
According to university police, protesters attempted to block UNC police vehicles by standing in front of them. After the encampment was cleared out, police said protesters pushed officers while attempting to enter the South Building.
Around noon, UNC Students for Justice in Palestine organized a walkout on the Wilson steps in protest of the students who were taken into custody. A crowd was marching up to the South Building, which houses the chancellor's office.
On the main quad around 2 p.m., protesters tore down barricades and took down the American flag on a flag pole in the quad.

UNC-CH is UNC-Charlotte.
It’s not just about Israel. It’s about destroying the USA, and Israel.
Clean that mess out.
It is no more complicated than that.
I understand that these things would not be perceived as an “insurrection” and we aren’t talking about events at “the Capitol”. But, still, Jan 6 was a bunch of unarmed middle-aged Americans walking through a public building with a police escort. And “the hammer of justice” has been pounding the J6 people for 3 years now.
Meanwhile, colleges are being shutdown because of massive demonstrations which go on and on and on and which deprive certain groups of basic rights. And the official view seems to be a shrug and a “What can we do?” attitude.
All of the Institutions in this country hate Americans and all of them are afraid of foreigners.
UNC Charlotte is UNCC.
Our government is paralyzed.
I’m America-only.
Election year again.
I just got home from spending all day at the UNC Hospital. Armed police were there in abundance.
lol no, they're owned and operated by a tiny minority and are actively bringing the invaders in.
No, it is not. It is UNC Chapel Hill.
Yes. Not UNC CH
“students who were taken into custody.”
Okay, so protestors can actually be taken into custody, we just chose not to during the BLM riots.
UNC CH is UNC Chapel Hill.
I live here..
Both campuses have protests.
The article is in Orange County.
The silence of the Biden regime is deafening.
I WANT each & every person misbehaving to be put on a MASTER LIST THAT ANY PROSPECTIVE FUTURE EMPLOYER can browse.
I SINCERELY HOPE THAT NONE of them ever can get a job higher than 7-11 clerk.
PAYBACK IS COMING & SHE IS NOT EASILY PLACATED
