Remember when your parents used to say, “If you act like a child I’m going to treat you like one?” Yeah, this is basically that.
Demonstrations are popping up on college campuses across the country, most notably at Ivy League institutions like Harvard and Columbia but also at schools like Texas and Arizona State, as pro-Palestine groups set up shop and colleges and police struggle to figure out how to deal with them.
Well, some of them struggle, but not the Georgia State Police.
Video from a protest at Emory University shows a Georgia state trooper chasing down a protestor and delivering an absolutely textbook tackle of the anti-Israel demonstrator.
Did this guy play for the Bulldogs? If not it seems like they missed a recruit in their own backyard. The speed, the way he left his feet and wrapped up to make the takedown…guy could have had a career on the gridiron.
But it seems the protestor still wasn’t ready to go peacefully, because a subsequent video shows the trooper leading them away as the protestor screams and drops to the ground.
It seems the trooper ran out of patience though, because as the protestor flops on the ground and whines like a child, the officer decides to treat them like one and pick them up like a parent who’s had enough of their kid’s tantrum in the toy aisle of Target.
That’s how you do it.
