A challenging hypothetical question for progressives who oppose ever calling the police on nonviolent protesters: The year is 2026. Abortion is the hot-button issue of the moment. One night, in a coordinated action, pro-life student groups at Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, UC Berkeley, and UCLA break into administrative buildings and establish an occupation. Their demand: citing complicity in mass death, they won't leave until their respective medical schools stop teaching how to perform abortions. Attempts at negotiation fail. They won't budge even after being warned of potential disciplinary and legal consequences. They aren't doing any damage to the building or threatening anyone's safety, but their presence is a significant disruption to administrators and a minor disruption to students and faculty. In that case, do you still believe that administrators ought *never* call the police in order to clear the building, no matter how long the occupation lasts?
