Woman shouts 'I'm a Professor' as US police knocks, handcuffs her during Gaza protest

Amid ongoing protests against the Israel-Hamas conflict, a pro-Palestine demonstration at Emory University in Atlanta saw Georgia state police resorting to excessive force.

Video footage, shared by CNN, captured the moment when economics professor Caroline Fohlin attempted to intervene as officers arrested a protester.

In the video, Fohlin questions the officers' actions, only to be forcefully pushed to the ground by one of them. Despite her protests and assertion of her profession, she was handcuffed with zip-ties, with another officer applying pressure to keep her down.
