Georgia does it differently!
Protests on US campuses escalate as police in Georgia are accused of using excessive force, resulting in the arrest of a Emory University professor and others.
During the pro-Palestine protest at the Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, the police employed fortuitous force. A professor was knocked on the floor by a US police officer and the other one was holding her legs while handcuffing her with zip ties.

This happened during the demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which spread to almost 21 campuses around the states, including Ivy League institutions such as Harvard and Yale.
On the same day as the incident at Emory University, the Georgia State Police detained 28 individuals, including including economics professor Caroline Fohlin.
All 23 people arrested at Thursday’s protest at Emory have been released from the Dekalb County Jail, records show.
Defendants were released on bond by 6:25 p.m., with all of them except two being released on signature bonds, which are cashless bonds usually used for minor or nonviolent offenses. Bonds were granted to the defendants Friday in magistrate court.
Among the first to be released Friday afternoon was Emory economics professor Caroline Fohlin, who is a tenured professor at the university. Fohlin was granted a $50 bond on a charge of simple battery against a police officer and disorderly conduct. Her arrest was caught on camera and went viral on social media.
“Caroline Fohlin was not a protester at Emory on April 25,” her attorney Gregory Clement said. “She emerged from her office, concerned only about the treatment of students on the quad. She looks forward to vigorously defending the accusations against her in court.”
Video clip of Fohlin admitting to hitting a police officer, “I impulsively hit him on the head very lightly to get his attention and they grabbed me and threw me to the ground and arrested me.”
Here’s that Professor of Economics who was arrested at Emory university and everyone seems to think is some poor victim of police repression. Caroline Fohlin ADMITS she hit a police officer on the head. Even professors are not allowed to assault cops. Yes, even professors. pic.twitter.com/YK5TrZokPD
