This Morning On The TJMS Don Lemon talks about a Arizona State University professor who is facing charges of assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest says that police used excessive force in slamming her to the ground during an encounter.
Ersula Ore, an English professor, was stopped by university police near the ASU campus. Police said Ore was stopped because she was walking in the middle of the street and refused to provide ID, and that she later kicked an officer in the shin after they had her handcuffed, according to the Associated Press. Ore claimed she was walking in the street to get around construction.
Now, dashboard video of Ore’s interaction with Officer Stewart Ferrin, showing Ore being physically forced down to the pavement, is attracting attention as she claims police used excessive force.
