An economics professor at Emory University whose needlessly violent arrest was captured by a news crew on Thursday at the schools pro-Palestine protest, is now facing charges for battery against a police officer.
In a disturbing video captured by CNN, Professor Caroline Fohlin approached several police officers as they wrestled one protester to the ground, forcefully shoving their head into the concrete sidewalk. Oh my God, what are you doing? Fohlin asked, horrified.
Fohlin yelled at the officers to get away from the student. She leaned down closer to the student, but did not touch them, or any of the officers.
One cop raced up to her, grabbing her wrists. Get on the fucking ground, he yelled, pulling her away from the student. Get on the ground, I said, he repeated.
Fohlin opened her mouth to protest as the officer kept his grip locked on her wrist. Do not, Im a ... she said, before the cop violently flipped her onto the ground, smashing her head into the sidewalk.
Ow my head, you just hit my head on the concrete! Fohlin yelled. Another cop joined to help press her into the ground. The two pinned her hands behind her back, as they proceeded to secure her hands with zip ties.
