They only understand "protect and serve" the interests of the rich and powerful. Or rather, their paycheck.
Same as the military, do as you're told, 'don't question your orders' is drilled in. Focus on the 'mission' not the why. Exactly what the students are protesting for, not to just do as your told and question authority.
That's what the establishment is most afraid about. This is the next generation ready to lead companies, enter politics and law. Can't have critical thinkers in there that will question what companies, politics and law are actually doing. Atm Google can still simply dismiss their workers that aren't happy with Project Nimbus for example. Yet in a few years these protestors will become the next workforce and change will spread from within.
You don't see any coverage of or police action against holocaust survivors protesting.
The establishment is always afraid of the next generation. Especially now the standard indoctrination channels, the mainstream media, don't work anymore. Politics is losing gen Z. It was already happening well before the destruction of Gaza. For example https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/08/progressive-gen-z-politics-voting/671130/
Gaza has focused this distrust and disappointment and has now brought young people together in protest. Despite how the mainstream media is portraying the protests, young people of all different backgrounds are coming together for a common cause. Talking to each other, breaking down the barriers that are supposed to keep them divided and directing their anger at the establishment.
The US always wanted to keep things in the "us vs them" / "with us or against is" spotlight, now they have it against their own kids.
