According to reports, a student at the Historically Black College, Winston-Salem State University, was arrested following an argument with a professor over an assignment.
The video first began circulating TIk Tok and shows the black female student being forcefully arrested inside the classroom after the disagreement with her white professor. She can be heard telling the officers to stop hurting her as they force her into handcuffs.
The 20-year-old student now faces a misdemeanor of disorderly conduct and is scheduled to appear in court in January.
Following the circulation of the video, Winston-Salem State University issued the following statement:
“We received a report that there was a significant commotion in Carolina Hall this morning, and as such, a WSSU employee nearby called for the assistance of law enforcement after they tried to de-escalate the situation,” reads the statement. “We understand that the weaponization of police is a prevalent problem in our community; however, that is not what happened in this incident. We strive for a safe, inclusive, thriving, and intellectual community where all our faculty, staff, and students feel respected and supported. To that end, we will take swift and appropriate measures against any situation that contradicts those ideals.”
