A shocking video posted online documents the moment a 20-year-old student was forced out of a classroom at a historically black college in handcuffs over an argument about an essay.

The video, posted to TikTok on Wednesday, shows officers handcuffing Leilla Hamoud at Winston-Salem State University following an apparent dispute between the student and her professor, Cynthia Villagomez.

Hamoud could be seen in the video sobbing and complaining that the police were hurting her as they forced her arms behind her back over what she says was a dispute about her final paper.

She is now facing misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges, and is due back in court on January 25, according to WXII reporter Louie Tran.

But many of the 4million people who have watched the video are questioning whether it was actually necessary for staff at the North Carolina black college to call for law enforcement.

The viral TikTok begins with two officers — one of whom is white, while the other is black — forcing Hamoud onto a desk while they handcuff her behind her back.

The sobbing 20-year-old could be heard telling the cops 'You're hurting me real bad' as her professor denies she called the local police force on the student.

“rowing with professor”? Were they both on crew?

Blacks don’t like water...

Never had a problem when I told a student of mine to re-write an academic paper. Interesting in a way but given the last couple generations, not surprising, at all.

[Irenic]

Show no respect, get no respect. The woman has no manners.

[EEGator]

Those cops need to eat salads only and hit the gym for about 2 years straight.

Checking the rules of the game.

Yes, Black trumps Hispanic. Teacher’s going to be in trouble.

[Celtic Conservative]

Hamoud is an Arab name. Perhaps mixed parentage? Or possibly just black muslim. If black muslim, she might have a huge chip on her shoulder about both authority in general and cops specifically.

Was it supposed to be written in cursive?

Ah those rascally British. It's like they have a different way of saying everything. I wish they would learn English.

As a totally random thought, I remember one explanation for some Britishisms was that they had their sense of scale inverted. They might refer to World War I as "a bit of a row" while describing two toddlers fighting over a toy as "the most dreadfully frightful row."

Clearly unjustified - you have to misgender someone or point a finger-gun at them to justify calling the cops to a classroom.

[Steely Tom]

I thought it was another British word for “shagging.”

Black females.

There’s a reason they are the least liked demographic of person. Actually several reasons.

[Secret Agent Man]

In Britain, anything can be a eupemism for sex, just depending how you say it.

They might refer to World War I as "a bit of a row" while describing two toddlers fighting over a toy as "the most dreadfully frightful row."

That's how they are on the other side of the pond.

Dem jungle bunnies is upset. They can’t be expected to be held to a standard of performance.

Rowing?
Like in a boat?
Gently down the stream?

[Mears]

I agree,and one was just named as the new Harvard president,

They are all over the place.

I've grown so tired of their outcries, and outrage, and complaints, and accusations of racism. So tired.

I wish they could publish the paper herein so we can see what the row is all about!!
