Despite worries about protests turning violent, the hundreds of people who swarmed the UC Berkeley campus on Thursday night remained peaceful, for the most part.
Dozens of police with riot gear surrounded the plaza in front of Zellerbach Hall, where Ben Shapiro, a former Breitbart editor, spoke as part of his “Campus Thuggery” tour.
“Things were orderly,” said Margo Bennett, chief of the UC Berkeley Police Department. “People were respectful and interested. Crowd outside were loud at times but for the most part not violent.”

According to police, no arrests were made on campus, and fewer than a half-dozen were made off campus. According to its official Twitter account, Berkeley police had arrested three people for carrying banned weapons, and one woman was also arrested on suspicion of battery of a police officer.
