On my campus I gather that the administration called an FBI anti-terrorism hotline when protestors entered the admin building, and after that the campus police kicked off their wave of repression. I can try to find something concrete.

Framed another way, it should be damning that the US govt DIDN'T STEP IN to protect students on college campuses from violent zionists and fascist police forces
Don't try and beat libs with facts. They're like dogs; they only hear your tone. You can't always communicate every idea.
Commenting so I can find this again. I would assume the answer is yes, as you have, but I haven't seen anything definitive.
Yeah I'm just kind of shocked that there apparently isn't any evidence of federal coordination of a nation wide violent police response. It's a lot easier for me to accept "The feds helped/coordinated/did it" than believing a bunch of useless uni admins pulled together effective national scale police repression without help, especially given the enormous number of mechanisms that have been built up since 9/11 for exactly this kind of wide-spread repression.
Iirc it took a while after Occupy before we got the confirmation that the feds were working hand in hand with the banks to shut down the protests. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
but who's going to report on it?
