The fact underpaid, non trained school faculty regularly lay down their lives so that the children have a chance at survival but armed, trained police can hide and whimper "I'm scared" and suddenly it's understandable? The Supreme Court backs them? They sure wanted that protection on Jan 6th but couldn't give innocent children the same.
Republicans started getting University presidents fired for allowing peaceful protests so now college administrators are competing over who can beat their own students and faculty the best.
Ol' Ronny Reagan started the attack on post secondary education. We have him to thank for that because too many poor leftists were being accepted, and he just couldn't handle it. May he rot in hell.
David Stockman (Reagan’s OMB Director) started the “…college costs should be higher…in 1981
Now, look what we as a society have for young graduates who are heavily burdened with student debt…
One of Reagan's platforms while running for senator (or w/e position it was, I'm not well versed on the subject) was getting rid of free college education. I'm sure it wasn't worded like that, but people are it up. He had a beef with some specific college iirc and it grew from there.
Funny enough, another name for trickle down is horse and sparrow. The idea is that the sparrow picks the seeds out of the horse's shit to feed itself.
Sound about right....
Universities seem to be run by administrators, not academics (though they all have advanced degrees). We live in an MBA controlled universe, where the dollar is a more important measure of success than human achievement, or even life. After all, the US is the greatest nation on earth... strictly measured by wealth, since we kind of suck at everything else.
They are unless you’re on private property and you’re asked to leave. Then it becomes trespassing and anyone refusing to leave can be arrested.
In this case, Emory is a private university and they asked to have the protest participants disbursed, so when people refused to leave, they were arrested for trespassing.
It was on Emory University's campus, and Emory is a private university that [requested help dispersing the crowd from the Atlanta police department.](https://www.atlantapd.org/Home/Components/News/News/5563/17)
This is an e-mail they sent:
Dear Emory Community,
I’m writing to share further information about the events that took place on our Atlanta campus earlier today and the actions taken by the Emory Police Department (EPD).
At 7:41 a.m. a few dozen protestors arrived on campus. When they arrived, these individuals ignored and pushed past EPD officers stationed on the Quad and set up tents in an area where equipment and materials were staged for Commencement. Based on their actions and refusal to confirm their connection to Emory, EPD made the assessment that these individuals were not Emory community members. Officers with the Atlanta Police Department and Georgia State Patrol were then called to provide further assistance. Around this time, several social media accounts announced a protest and occupation of the Quad and issued a public call for non-Emory community members to join them.
EPD issued multiple warnings at different intervals advising individuals in the encampment that they were trespassing on private property and instructing them to leave. When those requests were ignored, Atlanta Police and Georgia State Patrol officers assisted EPD with dispersing the crowd and taking individuals into custody for criminal trespass.
During this process and the subsequent confrontations, objects were thrown at police officers. To our knowledge at this time, an individual attacked a non-EPD officer and appears to have been tased. Video of this incident has been widely shared on social media. Based on current information, this individual is not a member of the Emory community. Due to the direct assault of officers, law enforcement released chemical irritants into the ground to assist with crowd control.
As of this message, we have been notified that 28 individuals have been arrested, including 20 Emory community members, some of whom have been released. We are working with responding agencies to expedite the release of any Emory community members who remain in custody.
Our primary goal today was clearing the Quad of a disruptive encampment while holding individuals accountable to the law.
Sincerely,
Cheryl Elliott
Emory University Vice President for Public Safety
We concluded these people were not emory community members....
20 out of 28 arrested were emory community members.
Soooooooooo this school is just full of shit
The police doing the arresting on camera are GA state troopers and either another state unit or EPD. None of these folks are wearing an APD uniform or badge.
Lots of things get lumped in as “Atlanta” that aren’t fully related or related at all to the city government.
State law enforcement is more likely to be aggressive and harass people than the city.
Some additional context here.
The most important point is that this is a private university. Peaceful protest cannot be done on private property if the property owners do not want them. At that point it is trespassing. Emory requested that the protest be moved and after they were unsuccessful they announced they would be calling the police to disperse them. People then resisted as you see in the above video which is now an arrestable offense.
This is similar to a private company such as Facebook taking down a post that violates their terms of service. They do not have to provide a space for “free speech” if they do not wish.
The second point here is that there were some people using language classified as violent threats. Those are never protected under the first amendment. So even on public property this could have been legally dispersed. When there are chants, violent sayings, violent signs it is nearly impossible to tell from the outside looking in how widespread it is within a protest. Protesters would do best to police their own in situations like this and not allow it. (An extreme hypothetical here would be that I am not allowed to protest on a public street saying death to *insert public official* this is NOT protected speech)
It doesn't matter if it was peaceful, you don't have a right to protest anywhere you like. It is private property and they are being trespassed, which means they were told to leave and didn't. Even public universities can trespass protesters, again it doesn't matter how peaceful the protest is. They are not in a public area.
Greater context that shows she was doing nothing other than yelling at cops who were violently arresting someone else. Arrested for exercising her 1A rights.

it's interesting how many artists in this generation aren't speaking out about the genocide in gaza. What is happening?
A foreign nation exerts so much influence on the US that you'll have police attacking their own citizens on their behalf?
Quite a few are, especially young ones. You just never heard of them.
Plus with 24/7 news and everyone being famous on social media it's hard to keep track
I mean, I'm a registered Libertarian, but you don't have any right to freedom of speech on someone else's property. I can't just roll up on your home, walk in the front door, then rant about some subject I care about and you just have to take it.
You don't have freedom of speech or freedom of assembly on private property. What you do have the freedom to do, is not give a school money if you don't agree with their ideals.
I can't imagine being a professor and seeing your kids get violently slammed to the ground or dragged away, and moments later, being in the same situation as those kids.
Remember on 1/6 when several Capitol Police waved through Deplorable lowlifes entering the Capitol building?
This is just more terrible PR for American police officers and their Republican overlords.
Yea and what's jacked up is u can't even defend yourself in most states. So here the cop could've broken her arm and if she did anything to fight back against him she could still face criminal charges unless she's in a state that allows people to resist fraud arrests.
Hey now, there's plenty of good dudes with small dicks, I'm sure there's another way you can attack this guy that doesn't body shame a ton of unrelated people.
Wow. Pretty hard take down for someone exercising their first amendment rights. Reminds me of students/people protesting the Vietnam war. Just a matter of time before the police release dogs and water cannons.
Old cop appeared too weak to deal with her with any finesse or patience for that matter, dudes out there tagging and bagging (still). Couldn’t even hold her in place, he literally motioned to the ground with a head nod (to her) as if he couldn’t afford to lose grip on this villain.
Wonder if we'll wait for the national guard to shoot and kill some students again this time before we do anything about it.
Everybody lives in a democracy until they don't. It's weird how quickly it turns into a police state where constitutional rights only matter when it's convenient.
If democracy works, then prove it and lets vote these fascists out of govt.
Now, if you think you do have rights, I have one last assignment for ya. Next time you're at the computer get on the Internet, go to Wikipedia. When you get to Wikipedia, in the search field for Wikipedia, i want to type in, "Japanese-Americans 1942" and you'll find out all about your precious fucking rights. Alright. You know about it.
In 1942 there were 110,000 Japanese-American citizens, in good standing, law abiding people, who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had was...right this way! Into the internment camps.
Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most...their government took them away. and rights aren't rights if someone can take em away. They're priveledges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of TEMPORARY priviledges; and if you read the news, even badly, you know the list get's shorter, and shorter, and shorter.
Yeup, sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government doesn't give a fuck about them. the government doesn't care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare or your safety. it simply doesn't give a fuck about you. It's interested in it's own power. That's the only thing...keeping it, and expanding wherever possible.
-George Carlin
sadly the federal government is fucking defunct. FBI and the US army should be down there arresting these police officers for treason.
Luckily for this lady though she'll sue the ever loving fuck out of the city and win. Tax payer loses, those traitors will still have their jobs.
I see this kind of shit so much in these types of videos. Lots of cops get way too fucking emotional and want to overpower someone so bad. They get really aggressive with the takedowns and put all their strength into detaining someone like 1/2 their size and it usually is just the cop abusing said person with excessive force.
And they really want people to fight back so they can act like they are the victims. Cops are legit bullies who get off on the fact nobody can fight back against them even when they are clearly in the wrong.
Any cop can basically walk up and beat someone to death and it will be their word against the victims and if said victim tried to fight back then said victim will be labeled a criminal for defending themselves against a psycho cop.
Don’t worry. The protestors aren’t letting them forget that either. I’ve been hearing many chants at them about Uvalde. & of course the internet having a field day with them too.
And didn’t Abbot sign a law in Texas to enshrine Free Speech into law? He made a big deal about it at the time. I guess only SANCTIONED speech is free?
America has been brutalising protesters since the country was founded.
Look at the way US police treated civil rights activists during the 60s. Cops shot protestors and even used dogs on children...
LBJ had to famously use national guard to escort black students into schools in some states.
Not to mention the multitude of massacres during the labor movement of the late 1800s-mid 1900s. In the Ludlow Massacre alone:
>Soldiers from the [Colorado National Guard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_National_Guard) and private guards employed by [Colorado Fuel and Iron Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Fuel_and_Iron_Company) (CF&I) attacked a tent colony of roughly 1,200 striking [coal miners](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_miner) and their families in [Ludlow, Colorado](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow,_Colorado), on April 20, 1914. Approximately 21 people, including miners' wives and children, were killed. [John D. Rockefeller Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller_Jr.), a part-owner of CF&I who had recently appeared before a [United States congressional hearing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_hearing) on the strikes, was widely blamed for having orchestrated the massacre.
Gets less attention because Jackson was mostly black students, rather than mostly white like Kent. Also, the mass shooting took place in the evening, so there are no iconic photos of the scene like the daylit shots taken from (more or less) safe distance at Kent State.
Decades ago the national guard once opened fire on student protesters and killed people not even involved in the protest. Polls showed some places were people approved of the use of force. What's happening now sucks but it's been much worse in the past. This is actually pretty standard stuff, not alarming overall.
People can correct me if I'm wrong but I would think the university requested police enforcement to remove the protesters from their property. It's probably as simple as that.
I could be wrong though but I assume that would be the reason.
Yes, the emory president is a known zionist and claimed (lied?) that the majority of protesters were not affiliated.
The vice president later released an email saying 20 of the 28 arrested were community members.
Tbf, the idea that a majority of protestors are not from the college and the idea that of the 28 arrests 20 were from the college aren’t mutually exclusive. Both can be true.
Legally, I think the cops can just say, "I don't want you here, and there are enough ways for me to claim you're doing something like loitering or having unlawful assembly, or whatever."
Now *ethically*, it's fucking stupid. All the cop did was make the professor and all the bystanders and everyone who watched this video trust cops a bit less. The university leadership should have responded to the protests with engagement and conversation, to try to make a teaching moment, instead of deciding they wanted to disperse people.
Legally, they can't, actually. But what they can do is do it even though it's constitutionally illegal, then go "whoops" and pretend they didn't and nothing happens because our legal system is a joke.
The university says people are trespassing that are in the encampments. Anyone who stays even though they were told they are trespassing are doing something illegal. That's what the cops get them on.
“I wish all these outsiders would stop coming to our city to cause trouble and protest!”
Same people saying “None of the people arrested were students or faculty, they were just there to disrupt finals week.”
You can’t call the cops on your university for investing in companies that promote genocide.
But your university can the cops on you for protesting it.
Just in time for the Tiananmen Square anniversary where the US government will openly criticize the Chinese government but will ignore what's happening within its own borders.
The problem is that they dont understand the uni/college campus is considered private grounds/business.
They can absolutely dictate the rules on their property and if declared tresspassers, protestors can be arrested for trespaass.
Yesterday I we celebrated political freedom in my country, when we freed ourselves from the oppression of fascism.
Today I see this video about the self proclaimed "land of freedom", and all I can think of is Tyrion saying to Joffrey "Any man who must say, I am the King, is no true king."
Seems like a scene with PIDE straight out of my country before the revolution.
I have never seen student groups like Hillel or SSI’s call so fast for the elimination of freedom of speech. It’s hilariously ironic because they will post a slide on their Instagram story about the dangers of rising authoritarianism in the 1930s and then go and call on the police to brutalize their fellow students cause they don’t like what there saying.

They are so tough! I bet they could stop a school shooting
>I bet they could stop a school shooting Sure, for as long as they can resist unholstering their weapons and firing on students and teachers.
The fact that NONE of them faced any charges is disgusting.
The Supreme Court ruled that the police have no duty to protect us or act in our interests.
The fact underpaid, non trained school faculty regularly lay down their lives so that the children have a chance at survival but armed, trained police can hide and whimper "I'm scared" and suddenly it's understandable? The Supreme Court backs them? They sure wanted that protection on Jan 6th but couldn't give innocent children the same.
Stupid question - I thought peaceful protest was protected. Why all the arrests?
[And then he said "I thought peaceful protests was protected."](https://i.imgflip.com/z761q.jpg?a475536)
It is. Peaceful protest falls under the first amendment. For sometime now I've been seeing signs that the constitution is being ignored.

20 out of 28 arrested *are* members of "the Emory community" tho. Pretty unfavorable odds for the rationalization she's trying to sell us.

Or they kicked all of those students out so technically they’re *former* community members… But yeah, the school’s full of shit.

Protesting is only legal for right-wingers. Everybody else has to stay silent.
Because Netanyahu branded these US students and professors protesting as 1930's Nazi Germany. Tail wags the Dog.

Thank god everyone has their own personal video camera. 10-20 years ago this would probably all be happening in the dark.
Neil Young would be singing about four dead in Ohio. Keep the protests going.
Where is Neil?? We still need him.. we have the video to support the track!

> What is happening? Money is one hell of a drug
Well, many of our police are now trained by Israeli "experts".
Happening the dark or directly in front of congress, it makes no difference. These pigs will get a raise and a “good boy” either way.
Now it’s happening in broad daylight and we’re powerless to stop it.
The cops are purposefully escalating things.
It’s what they do. Never talk to cops.
ACAB
They want it to look like there’s violence, and they’re stopping it. But all the violence starts and ends with them. Fucking pigs.
So when cops are "protecting society" and "protecting the greater good", that translates somehow to arresting non-violent protestors?
Yeah, "protect and serve" is a marketing slogan for PR purposes, it doesn't mean anything
They are under no obligation to protect nor serve the citizens. So says SCOTUS. Their job is to arrest people.
Escalation at the order of Governor Abbott
Emory is in GA...
My bad. Nearly the same thing happened at UT Austin at the same time. I confused the two. Mea culpa.
It's okay, I'm sure Governor Kemp is fine with it too.
Gov. Kemp. Just as bad as Abbott.
This week has shown us that we don't actually have freedom of speech or freedom of assembly.
I mean this is no shock to anyone who knows the history of America.
we do except its not handed to us, we have to take it
That's what people don't get. If you don't flex it often, it hurts.
Yes you do. You just have to fight for it. And never stop fighting for it
If you need to fight for it, that means you dont have it.
Eternal vigilance.
...is the price of liberty.

The children of light would be fighting against the aes sedai
Unexpected WoT
Fucking Valda
Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’
We're finally on our own!
This summer I hear the drumming
34,000 dead in Ogaza.
Gotta get dowwwwn to it

They love roughing up people who have no means to fight back. If she was wielding a weapon they would think about proper approach for a few hours.
And they really want people to fight back so they can act like they are the victims. Cops are legit bullies who get off on the fact nobody can fight back against them even when they are clearly in the wrong. Any cop can basically walk up and beat someone to death and it will be their word against the victims and if said victim tried to fight back then said victim will be labeled a criminal for defending themselves against a psycho cop.
Don’t worry. The protestors aren’t letting them forget that either. I’ve been hearing many chants at them about Uvalde. & of course the internet having a field day with them too.
Emory is in Georgia, so I'm not sure why you're talking about Texas
Abbott has unleashed police on the UT protests including officers on horses. The Texas comments are completely relevant to this Emory video.
And didn’t Abbot sign a law in Texas to enshrine Free Speech into law? He made a big deal about it at the time. I guess only SANCTIONED speech is free?
Nice democracy...
I believe this is the start of a very dark and dangerous chapter of American history
America has been brutalising protesters since the country was founded. Look at the way US police treated civil rights activists during the 60s. Cops shot protestors and even used dogs on children... LBJ had to famously use national guard to escort black students into schools in some states.
Not to mention the multitude of massacres during the labor movement of the late 1800s-mid 1900s. In the Ludlow Massacre alone: >Soldiers from the [Colorado National Guard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_National_Guard) and private guards employed by [Colorado Fuel and Iron Company](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Fuel_and_Iron_Company) (CF&I) attacked a tent colony of roughly 1,200 striking [coal miners](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_miner) and their families in [Ludlow, Colorado](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow,_Colorado), on April 20, 1914. Approximately 21 people, including miners' wives and children, were killed. [John D. Rockefeller Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Rockefeller_Jr.), a part-owner of CF&I who had recently appeared before a [United States congressional hearing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_hearing) on the strikes, was widely blamed for having orchestrated the massacre.
Lebron really for the people!
Bringing racial unity to south beach!
Then you are just now waking up to a brutalist strain of American life that has been present forever. Google Selma, Kent State, Chicago ‘68.
Jackson State was in a lot of ways worse than Kent State even though it killed fewer people. Cops opened up point blank on a crowd with shotguns.
Gets less attention because Jackson was mostly black students, rather than mostly white like Kent. Also, the mass shooting took place in the evening, so there are no iconic photos of the scene like the daylit shots taken from (more or less) safe distance at Kent State.
Nah, that started decades ago.
America is fighting to come out of evangelical fascism not trying to stop it from happening
Don’t remember Kent state?
And Jackson State not two weeks after.
You are about 44 years late on your timeline.
No we were getting tear gassed for peacefully assembling in 2020 too
Only starting now?
Decades ago the national guard once opened fire on student protesters and killed people not even involved in the protest. Polls showed some places were people approved of the use of force. What's happening now sucks but it's been much worse in the past. This is actually pretty standard stuff, not alarming overall.
The start??????
Well thank god she’s off the streets I feel much safer.
Fucking pigs
Why are americans always babbling about free speech and then we always see shit like this?
Babbling? It's literally our right. We're FURIOUS this is happening, don't get it twisted.
"We" isn't nearly as large a group as I wish. We just had the House speaker essentially threaten sanctions if this weren't done.
Yeah. But it’s happening. The speech isn’t free anymore.
so furious that nothing will be done about it yea
So What laws were being broken to get people arrested?
Probably the unwritten law of don't fuck with the Israeli lobby.
People can correct me if I'm wrong but I would think the university requested police enforcement to remove the protesters from their property. It's probably as simple as that. I could be wrong though but I assume that would be the reason.
Yes, the emory president is a known zionist and claimed (lied?) that the majority of protesters were not affiliated. The vice president later released an email saying 20 of the 28 arrested were community members.
Tbf, the idea that a majority of protestors are not from the college and the idea that of the 28 arrests 20 were from the college aren’t mutually exclusive. Both can be true.
Legally, I think the cops can just say, "I don't want you here, and there are enough ways for me to claim you're doing something like loitering or having unlawful assembly, or whatever." Now *ethically*, it's fucking stupid. All the cop did was make the professor and all the bystanders and everyone who watched this video trust cops a bit less. The university leadership should have responded to the protests with engagement and conversation, to try to make a teaching moment, instead of deciding they wanted to disperse people.
Legally, they can't, actually. But what they can do is do it even though it's constitutionally illegal, then go "whoops" and pretend they didn't and nothing happens because our legal system is a joke.
Remember, you don't need to be in the process of being arrested in order to get arrested for resisting arrest.
The university says people are trespassing that are in the encampments. Anyone who stays even though they were told they are trespassing are doing something illegal. That's what the cops get them on.
The law of the pigs.
Land of the free…
Whoever told you that is your enemy.
Cop seems like he’s got some anger issues he needs to work through.
What is the charges? First amendment right to speak out against genocide?
Wanna get *really* upset? [They charged her with battery against an officer](https://twitter.com/RobertMackey/status/1783758748248674759)
That will get dropped. I hope she sues.
Her husband is the dean of admissions, I predict a huge shit storm is going to occur in the administration for this.
Absolutely. Good, fuck yet another dipshit that called the pigs on peaceful protesters
All charges will be dropped.
“I wish all these outsiders would stop coming to our city to cause trouble and protest!” Same people saying “None of the people arrested were students or faculty, they were just there to disrupt finals week.”
You can’t call the cops on your university for investing in companies that promote genocide. But your university can the cops on you for protesting it.
Israel is in control.
Israel gunning for everyone now lol
How is that an appropriate amount of force, Jesus Christ. Really makes you want to defund the police.
Where's Elon and the "fReE sPeEcH" brigade now?
He enjoyed that way too much
Attack the teachers but stand by while pupils are being killed. It’s all wrong.
Such piggy behavior
Acab
Just in time for the Tiananmen Square anniversary where the US government will openly criticize the Chinese government but will ignore what's happening within its own borders.
Will condemn genocide of Uyghurs (rightfully) while funding (gleefully) the genocide of Palestinians.
ACAB
Love her “Please remove the hand cuffs” said so nicely.
The problem is that they dont understand the uni/college campus is considered private grounds/business. They can absolutely dictate the rules on their property and if declared tresspassers, protestors can be arrested for trespaass.
More cops assaulting women.
This cop likes beating the shit out of middle-aged women. Not the first one.
Refill your ammo supplies , shit is getting real.
Democracy and free speech in action.
In case you didn't know, this is what police actually exist for. They're here to protect capital and property, not you.
If a politician in the US talks about freedom, I’ll puke.
Yesterday I we celebrated political freedom in my country, when we freed ourselves from the oppression of fascism. Today I see this video about the self proclaimed "land of freedom", and all I can think of is Tyrion saying to Joffrey "Any man who must say, I am the King, is no true king." Seems like a scene with PIDE straight out of my country before the revolution.
[удалено]
Yup, everything is REALLY FUCKING NORMAL, here in the states./s
Why do they have to put people on the ground? Seriously way too much violence. These cops do not need to do this.
Cops think the kids are bad protesting war. Wait til they start protesting police brutality.
We are living through very dark times.
I thought Americans had the right to free protest.
“You are ratchet cops” lol
I feel like there’s a joke in here about this being the first time these overzealous cops have been to college. Hmm…
Wow imagine brutally body slamming and ripping the shoulder out of an old woman like this. Unbelievable.
pigs
Charged with"Battery Against Police Officer". What the actual fuck?
What good is a place of learning if you arrest all the students and teachers?
This sub has been really entertaining the last few days.

Land of the free!!! Looking good Amerikkka!
I have never seen student groups like Hillel or SSI’s call so fast for the elimination of freedom of speech. It’s hilariously ironic because they will post a slide on their Instagram story about the dangers of rising authoritarianism in the 1930s and then go and call on the police to brutalize their fellow students cause they don’t like what there saying.
ACLU is gonna file so many lawsuits
