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.

A subsequent video appeared to later show the same officer escorting the protester, who was in handcuffs, out of the area, when the protester whined: “You’re hurting me!”
The proteser then fell to the ground, leading the officer to pick up the individual and carry them out of the area.
“You’re hurting me!” the proteser squealed. “Ow! Ow! Ow! Help! Help! Ow, you’re hurting me!”

“The Georgia State Trooper doesn’t have time for your snowflake complaints,” wrote X user Wall Street Silver. “Sometimes parents just have to pickup their kids and haul them out of public where they won’t be such an embarrassment. Timeout for him.”
“This is how woke garbage is handled in Florida under DeSantis,” said Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon.
Republican strategist Matt Whitlock responded: “Listen to this person shriek and remember – President Biden wants to raise your taxes to pay for his college experience.”
