Cops take down Emory professor at anti-Israel protest that turned violent, wild video shows

Dozens of anti-Israel protesters were arrested at Emory University Thursday in a violent clash with cops, including at least one professor seen being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed in an online video.

In the video, filmed by CNN but widely circulated on social media, chaos unfolds on the Atlanta campus as officers move in on the impromptu tent city erected by demonstrators early that morning.

A chorus of screams goes up from the crowd as officers snatch demonstrators and place them under arrest.

At one point a woman, identified by reports as Emory economics professor Caroline Fohlin, approaches one of the protesters being arrested before she herself is grabbed and loudly ordered to the ground by an Atlanta cop.

Seconds later, the officer wrestles Fohlin to the grass, calling for assistance as she flails and screams, “Oh my god!” while identifying herself as a professor.

As another officer joins the melee and helps get her hands behind her back, protesters encircle them and start shouting insults.

“You are Hitler! You are rabid dogs! You are fascists! Shame on you!” a male demonstrator screamed at the cops from a few feet away.

In the wake of the arrests, during which 28 people were taken into custody, university president Gregory L. Fenves issued a statement to the Emory community that swiftly disavowed the “highly organized outside protesters” whom he blamed for the violence.

What you posted wasn’t much of a “joke” and I don’t even think it incorrect.
I don’t understand why you feel the need to back away from it.

“You are Hitler” being shouted at police from a woman who is participating in a violent antisemitic rally is about as hypocritical as you can get. It shows an unbelievably profound depth of ignorance and lack of self awareness. Just about what you’d expect from a liberal college faculty member. Bet she votes for Biden

Students are being influenced by a network of troll farms coordinated by Iran to inflame the hatred of Jews. Anti-Jew teachers are part of that network.

It would be interesting to get a complete idea of the financial network involved in the demonstrations. People like George Soros need prosecution. The cost of signs, tents, compensation for the rally leaders, and transportation needs requires a financial network. That network needs to be rooted out and destroyed.

It's good that at least one university president is taking a stand.

Okay Professor, put your hands behind your back.

Police detain 100 in pro-Palestinian protest camp at Boston’s Northeastern University

Police detained about 100 people as they moved in to clear an encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters in response to the use of anti-Semitic slurs, the school said.

The action was taken after protesters resorting to “virulent anti-Semitic slurs, including ‘Kill the Jews,’ crossed the line,” the school said in a statement on social media platform X.

I wonder how the US MSM would freak out if there was group of people in a counter-protest/encampment, that yelled “Kill the Palestinians!!!” ???

THAT would receive WALL-to-WALL Coverage, no doubt!!

I don’t care what it’s commonly referred to. Our country was founded by Christians! And our founders commonly referred to it as a Christian country.
