@KallieECox Jill sent this video shortly before the police started arresting students and supporters at Washington University:
Jill and others were attempting to deescalate with police before they began arresting people:

This video shows police use of force against Jill and others at Washington University:
It's shameful that university administrations are condoning the use of force against their own students who are simply calling for peace, human rights, and an end to a genocide that the American people abhor.
Update: Jill, Jason, and Kelly were detained with ~100 others at St. Louis County Jail for 5+ hours before being released around 2am.
