EMORY UNIVERSITY PRO-PALESTINE PROTEST DESCENDS INTO CHAOS

A protest at Emory University has descended into chaos as Georgia police officers took several people into custody on Thursday.

Video captured multiple students being approached by officers as they 'sprayed tear gas' and fired rubber bullets at them.

Other clips showed cops pin protestors to the ground as they held their hands behind their backs.

Students occupied the lawn at the school's quad and set up a Gaza solidarity encampment.

Protestors said that they were 'demanding total institutional divestment from Israeli apartheid and Cop City at all Atlanta colleges and universities,' according to Fox 5.

This is the latest university protest that have taken over the US in recent days in response to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

It is unclear how many protestors were arrested at the protest and if they were charged.

Over the past week, schools like Columbia University, Harvard, NYU, and the University of Texas.

As people were apprehended by police, other protestors were heard chanting 'Let them go! Let them go!'

Armed officers lined up in front of the crowd and tried to get them to move.

'This was a non-violent movement, you guys interrupted us,' a protestor said to the cops.
