More than 50 students were arrested for alcohol violations, criminal damaging and arson after a car was set on fire. I probably shouldn't have left it there. The cleanup began bright and early Sunday, as students picked up and swept up hundreds of bottles, cans and pieces of debris. Many students said that police used unnecessary force. It was 11 o'clock before anything started, and that's when the police showed up about.
Authorities insist that police reacted properly in the face of a crowd that was out of control.
The provocation was intended to draw the police in. Kent State was not the only campus with trouble this weekend. Police said that about 50 people were arrested, mostly for liquor violations. Compared to what happened in Kent, partygoers were relatively calm in Columbus, WEWS reports. All rights reserved.
