Emory University: teargas and rubber bullets reportedly used in protest crackdown |
|
Dramatic footage shows law enforcement deploying Tasers and teargas against protesters at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Police detained 28 people on campus, the university said, after protesters began erecting a tent encampment in an attempt to emulate a symbol of vigilance employed by protesters at Columbia University and elsewhere. When officers in tactical gear began detaining people, some submitted while others pushed back. Video shows officers at least once used an electrical stun gun on a protester who was handcuffed on the ground.
