The whole thing is so stupid as the "controversy" that started all this is an effort to remove a statue of Robert E Lee from the grounds of the university.

Nothing like trying to bury your history to rile some people up I guess.
There was no police reaction because there was very little protest to the march. The campus is pretty empty right now, so the numbers to counter were limited. As a result, no need for use of dispersion tactics.
