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.

Most college professors are semi-retarded. This guy is full retard. I had maybe two professors I respected. The rest were loser humps.

I do not believe that. I have seen discussions elsewhere about it.

Agree that the weakness of the Judeo Christian religions in my opinion is the acceptance through low self esteem or feelings of unworthiness that cause the people to allow serious harm followed by “turn the other cheek.”
Those religions are falling and falling year by year in membership and attendance to services (not counting other countries). It makes me sad.

The University will support her, she will sue the police and get a handsome payout. There is no justice in America.

Ok, this is effin crazy going down in the South. I almost understand this happening in the tri-state area up North, but in Georgia? Where are the Southern gentleman? Are they long gone? I know Emory has a big Jewish component, but I thought they were semi-safe down in the South.

It’s the 60’s all over again. RFK was running then as his son is running now. The big difference is that there’s no draft in effect today - although don’t be surprised if they reinstitute one next year the way things are going.

Sadly the demonstrator who said “You are Hitler!...You are fascists!” are actually Hitler, fascists, & Nazis because they want to exterminate the Zionists and all the Jews who live in Israel.

I am dismayed and saddened that this is happening in our country. But when the demonstrators shout “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” they are proclaiming that the USA is NOT their country.

If this keeps up, it will soon become the left's "Anti-Kent State." The college protesters are going to kill some cops.

The woman was arrested “while identifying herself as a professor”.

Note to self: Do not identify yourself as a professor the next time you’re in trouble with the police. It doesn’t work. Plus I’m not a professor, anyway.

I think I’ll identify myself as a forensic art examiner. Or maybe as a roller coaster designer. Those are cool jobs. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
