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.

I can’t wait until the DNC convention in Chicago this year. !968 all over again. The Dems are split and last time this happened Nixon won in a landslide. Trump’s turn now.

the weakness of the Judeo Christian religions in my opinion is the acceptance through low self esteem or feelings of unworthiness

It's the slave mentality. It's also found in other religions (i.e. Buddhism).

‘ Emory is a hotbead of liberalism.“

In my day Emory had a very vibrant Jewish student population.

That is why they call them “Emmroids”


“I’m a professor!”.....as if that gives you immunity.
Emory is a hotbead of liberalism.
