LAPD uses January 6 techniques to identify Jewish students who fought back at a UCLA pro-Hamas protest

By Monica Showalter

They're studying Facebook posts. They're using frame-by-frame video screenshots of faces to match with gargantuan databases of named faces. They're seeking and taking tips from "friends" and relatives and ex-boyfriends.

For the UCLA Jewish students who got into a scrap with pro-Hamas illegal campout protestors, no doubt after hearing a slew of antisemitic statements and being blocked from attending class, they're doing exactly what they did to identify and hunt down January 6 protestors.

According to the Los Angeles Times, which reports this like it was a good thing:

It is shaping up to be perhaps the biggest case in the history of the UCLA Police Department: how to identify dozens of people who attacked a pro-Palestinian camp at the center of campus last week.

The mob violence was captured on live television, but it took three hours for police to bring it to an end. Those involved left, and no arrests were made.

But the trail is not cold.

UCLA detectives are now scanning hundreds of images in an attempt to identify the attackers. They intend to use technology that captures facial images and compares them to other photos on the internet and social media to put names to faces, according to law enforcement sources.

The same technology has allowed police to identify suspects in smash-and-grab retail burglaries. It also was the heart of the Jan. 6 investigation, in which videos of those storming the U.S. Capitol helped the FBI identify many of the assailants and led federal prosecutors to charge more than 1,300 people. In those cases, investigators often were able to find social media images of the assailant wearing the same clothing as during the attack.


So now they're spending big bucks to target UCLA Jewish students again, with the same use of intensive investigative techniques as they used on January 6 protestors.

They're taking years to do it, calling it their biggest operation, even as Los Angeles is awash with real crime, but this is more important to them, getting their man, or woman, as the case may be, championing a protest the establishment didn't like, same as they did with the January 6 protestors. Jews tussling with pro-Hamas protestors whose cause probably killed some of their relatives back on October 7 are their top priority, and this is their January 6.

How they will hunt. In the case of the January 6 protestors, they managed to bag people like these, a protestor known as "pink beret," Jennifer Inzunza Vargas Geller. The politicized law enforcers worked like beavers to swoop down on her several years after the fracas, though it's pretty obvious she wasn't doing anything more than just being there, spending millions in order to get her thrown into prison.

Now they'll do it to the Jewish students who fought back against the haters. Never mind catching the dirtbags who left the campus a steaming mess, graffiting its walls, junking its furniture, leaving a lot of smell and mess as well as landfill-sized amounts of litter. Those guys get off scot-free. As do the graffitiers of menacing messages on synagogues these days around the West Side of Los Angeles, the antisemitic assailants against visably Jewish people walking on the streets of Beverly Hills, and the freaks throwing smoke bombs and screaming against Jewish people in their homes in Brentwood. All of those things happened. But we hear not a word about catching the monsters who committed those crimes, or for that matter, the pro-Hamas lowlife who blocked Jewish students from their own classrooms at UCLA and injured some Jewish students, too.

Double standards anyone? The antisemitic bad guys walk. The Jewish students get the book thrown at them for fighting back after provocations.

It sure looks like a double-standard of justice to me.
