In reality, I supported what they were doing, so there would have been no fight or anything. It was a hell of a way to begin a teaching career, although I had been a TA and done other teaching before that. Following the standoff, students occupied the administration building. I don't remember, but I do remember the head of the City of Syracuse police force visiting the students in the administration building. It was all handled with taste.
Police are always grief.
I was only arrested once for being in a building with 165 other students, who were discussing the Kent State and Jackson State murders. It was May 4,1970. We wern't planning to be arrested, i.e. it wasn't a sit-in. We just continued our teach-in after the building, the Student Union had been officially closed.
