THIS IS CBS, 17. >> CAMPUS CHAOS. >> WATER BOTTLES THROWN PEOPLE, PEPPER SPRAYED. PROTESTERS REMOVED THE AMERICAN FLAG. A CONTENTIOUS DAY AT UNC CHAPEL HILL AS HUNDREDS RALLY FOR A 5TH DAY IN A SCHOOL TO CUT ALL FINANCIAL TIES WITH ISRAEL. >> ANGELA TAYLOR: AND TONIGHT, THINGS ARE QUIETER ON THE CAMPUS OF UNC CHAPEL HILL AFTER A VERY CHAOTIC DAY. THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US. I'M ANGELA TAYLOR AND I'M ROD CARTER. TODAY. POLICE DETAINED DOZENS OF PEOPLE IN ALL OF THAT. THERE WERE EVEN SOME MAJOR CLASHES WITH POLICE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ALL OF THE PROTESTERS RALLYING FOR SEVERAL DAYS INPPOSION. TO E ISEL-HAS W, CBS,7 TEACE RWA BENS OUTEAM COVEGE TIGHT WH WH THIN LOOK KE O THE RIT NO HERS >> WELL, IT IS QUITE LITERALLY IN NIGHT AND DAY. THE TENSE THAT FILLED THIS SQUAD THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND ARE GONE IN THIS FLIGHT PULL. THAT WAS THE CENTER OF A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WERE HAPPENING THIS AFTERNOON. NOW, ONCE AGAIN, HAS THE AMERICAN FLAG. >> OLD GLORY FLIES HIGH OVER UNC CAMPUS AGAIN BUT NOW SURROUNDED BY 2 LAYERS OF FENCING. THE RESULT OF A CHAOTIC DAY OF PROTESTS. I THINK THAT THE AMERICAN FLAG REPRESENTS ALL OF US HERE AT THIS UNIVERSITY. BENJAMIN GRUSCH NICK AND A HANDFUL OF OTHER STUDENTS HAVE BEEN DISPLAYING US AND ISRAEL FLAGS THROUGHOUT THE PROTEST. WHEN I CAME OUT HERE TODAY AND I SAW THAT INSTEAD OF THE >> THE AMERICAN FLAG THAT WE USUALLY HAVE THAT THE PALESTINIAN FLAG WAS UP THERE. I I WAS DEFINITELY SCARED. PROTESTERS BRIEFLY FLEW THE PALESTINIAN FLAG OVER THE QUAD, FORMING A HUMAN CHAIN IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING TAKEN DOWN. THE SYMBOLISM OF, YOU KNOW, PUTTING THE PALESTINIAN FLAG. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO ME. I KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO BE AMERICAN ANYMORE LIKE WE WE WANT THIS TO BE PASSED ON TO JUST ABOUT SOLIDARITY. IT LED TO INTENSE CLASHES WITH POLICE. PROTESTERS THREW BARRICADES THAT WERE PUT UP EARLIER IN THE DAY. SOME WERE PEPPER SPRAYED. IT WENT ON FOR HOURS AFTER OFFICERS FIRST INTERVENED. DOZENS OF PROTESTERS WERE DETAINED EARLY TUESDAY MORNING, INCLUDING 6 WHO ARE ARRESTED AFTER REFUSING TO REMOVE THE DAY-OLD ENCAMPMENT IN THE QUAD. THE UNIVERSITY SAYS 3 OF THOSE ARRESTED ARE UNC STUDENTS.Kl >> NOW IN A STATEMENT, THE UNIVERSITY SAYS THKlAT THEY'RE DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY HAD TO TAKE THIS ACTION CLASSES FOR MUCH OF THE DAY WERE CANCELED RIGHT? >> ROD CARTER: SO HARRISON, WHAT ABOUT THE PROTESTERS? DID THEY SAY WHETHER THEY'RE COMING BACK OR WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE? >> THERE WERE RUMBLINGS THAT SOME TENSE COULD PROP BACK UP AS EARLY AS TONIGHT. BUT ORGANIZERS SAY THAT THEY ARE NOT RETURNING IT BECAUSE THERE IS A HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE. ALRIGHT, HARRISON, LIVE PRESTON, HARRISON, THANK YOU. SO IN ALL OF THAT, THAT HARRISON SHOWED YOU THAT WE SHOWED YOU THE BEGINNING OF THE NEWSCAST. UNC SAYS 36 PROTESTERS WERE ACTUALLY DETAINED TODAY. >> AFTER THESED DISPSE FM POPELACEO HARRON MEIONE30 OF THE WE LEAS ON GNEDG AN 6 HERSE TAN TOHE OR COUNTDETEION NTER WHICDREWTS O PROSTER SUPPORT THEM. COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THOSE WHO WERE DETAINED WENT BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE, BUT WE'RE NOT BOOKED INTO JAIL. ORGANIZERS VOWED TO BE THERE UNTIL EVERYONE WAS RELEASED FROM CUSTODY. THE SCHOOL SAYS 3 STUDENTS AND 3 OF THEM WERE NOT STUDENTS. WE'LL TALK WITH AN ORGANIZER WHO DID NOT WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED BUT SAYS THEY ARE A STUDENT. UNC CHAPEL HILL. >> WE ARE HERE AND WE ARE NOT SCARED OF YOU AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUT HERE UNTIL YOU COMPLY WITH OUR DEMANDS PERIOD. >> ANGELA TAYLOR: THE ORGANIZERS SAY THEY'RE PREPARED TO KEEP PROTESTING UNTIL THE UNIVERSITY FOLLOWS ITS DEMANDS AS SHE JUST MENTIONED. YEAH. WELL, TODAY'S PROTEST AT IN THE ONE THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS PAST FEW DAYS IS ONE OF SEVERAL THAT ARE HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN AND COULD CHANGE IS ACTUALLY COME FROM CBS. 17 ISLAM ALLOTMENT CONTINUES OUR LIVE COVERAGE IN CHAPEL HILL AND YOU TALK WITH AN EXPERT ABOUT THIS. WHAT DID THEY HAVE TO SAY? >> THE EXPERT I SPOKE TO SAYS IT'S UNLIKELY THAT SOME OF THE PROTESTERS BIGGEST DEMANDS WILL ACTUALLY BE MET. BUT HE SAYS THAT'S NOT THE ONLY PURPOSE OF PROTEST. >> THE PROTESTS FOR SOLIDARITY WITH GAZA'S CAUSING WAVES OF DIVISION HERE AT HOME. I LIKE TO TELL MY STUDENTS PEOPLE PROTEST BECAUSE NOTHING ELSE HAS WORKED PROTEST IN CHAPEL HILL AND ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE CONFIDENT THE ACTION WILL LEAD TO GLOBAL CHANGE. SINCE THE STATE UNIVERSITY POLITICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR STEVEN GREEN ABOUT IT. WE DO KNOW ABOUT. >> PROTESTS AND PROTEST MOVEMENTS IS THAT IT'S A MEDIA STRATEGY. IT IS ABOUT WINNING PEOPLE OVER TO YOUR SIDE. THE MAIN DEMAND OF PROTESTERS IS THAT THEIR UNIVERSITY DIVEST FROM ISRAEL. I DON'T THINK THAT PARTICULAR DEMAND IS GOING TO BE MET. A CAMPUS SEEING MOVEMENT FROM UNIVERSITY LEADERS AS BROWN UNIVERSITY, WHICH WILL HOLD A DIVESTMENT VOTE. I ASKED GREENE WHAT IMPACT IF ANY, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE? >> HE SAYS COLLEGES TYPICALLY HAVE LARGE STOCK PORTFOLIOS THAT COULD INCLUDE DEFENSE COMPANIES ARE DEFENSE INDUSTRY IN AMERICA IS VERY CLOSELY TIED WITH THE SUPPORT WE GET TO ISRAEL. >> AND JUST, YOU KNOW, GET OUT OF THOSE STOCKS. ESSENTIALLY, IT'S HARD TO SEE HOW T OF HANUL ODEFEIN CONTCTORAND NOT. GOI TO KE AIFFENCE INERMSF WH HAP IN RAELND GAND TH T PALESTINIANS. GREEN SAYS IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT THE ACTUAL POLITICAL IMPACT OF THE PROTESTS WILL BE. BUT SAYS FOR NOW IN TERMS OF >> THE ABILITY TO KIND OF CHANGE THE POLITICAL DISCOURSE THAT WE'RE HAVING TO POTENTIALLY WIN PEOPLE OVER TO THE AT LEAST AS OF NOW, I DON'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF THAT. >> SO HOW DOES THIS REGION AND AN ORGANIZER I SPOKE TO LAST WEEK SAYS THEY'LL STAY OUT HERE AS LONG AS THEY NEED TO GREEN NOTES THAT THE ACADEMIC YEAR IS ABOUT TO COME TO AN END. SO INTERESTING QUESTION IS HOW MUCH ENERGY AND EF
