A Georgia State Patrol officer tackled a pro-Palestinian demonstrator during a protest at Atlanta’s Emory University this week and later appeared to have to pick up and carry the protester out of the area.
“This was one of the first takedowns of many, several protesters were arrested today on the campus,” a local reporter wrote on X in a post that included a video of the incident.
The officer ran full speed at the protester tackled the individual, instantly bringing them to the ground.
