The statement describes a situation where the police allegedly did not intervene during a violent incident at UCLA, involving a group identified as a 'pro Israeli lynch mob.' The statement accuses this group of assaulting students, using fireworks, and deploying mace. The image accompanying the statement shows a chaotic scene with individuals in a physical confrontation, which seems to support the claim of violence.

It does not provide evidence or context to substantiate the claims, which could lead to misinformation or escalation of tensions. [-2]Principle 1:I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
