A student walkout at the University of Texas at Austin in support of Palestine turned chaotic Wednesday when police officers tried to disperse protesters using riot gear, resulting in the arrest of at least 34 people.

The demonstration showed no signs of violence before authorities intervened, though police ordered the protesters multiple times to disperse and warned them they would be arrested for trespassing.
