'they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences'
The University of Florida explains why it arrested protesters. So well said. It begins: “This is not complicated. The University of Florida is not a day care…”Protestors at the University of Florida and University of South Florida were arrested on Monday, according to university officials.
UF officials said that nine people were arrested by the university’s police department and the Florida Highway Patrol. According to the university, charges included failure to obey a lawful command, resisting without violence to trespass after warning. One was allegedly charged with battery after spitting on an officer.
In a release, UF spokesman Steve Orlando announced the arrests, saying that the university had provided ample warnings last week regarding “prohibited activities.” “This is not complicated: The University of Florida is not a daycare, and we do not treat protesters like children — they knew the rules, they broke the rules, and they’ll face the consequences. For many days, we have patiently told protesters — many of whom are outside agitators — that they were able to exercise their right to free speech and free assembly.
