UNC Chapel Hill geography professor Altha Cravey responds to being captured on video among the student censors last week. Following a series of defenses, the professor turns to the police:
I believe police over-reacted in spraying peaceful student protestors with pepper spray and threatening them with tasers.
This police action escalated the tension inside the classroom. I hope you watch the videos and consider my point of view.
I wonder if the professor would blame police for responding, had it been a likeminded professor who was prevented from speaking and, in fact, met by chaotic people smashing the window and hurling vulgarities. I doubt it.
