A Southern Illinois University professor appeared to be beaten and injured by police at a pro-Palestinian demonstration at Washington University in St. Louis over the weekend, according to video footage shared by a bystander. In a post on X, a woman who identified herself as Tamari's wife, Sandra Tamari, shared a video of her husband being "brutally beaten" by police, noting that both of them were arrested at the student encampment. "I was arrested at the Gaza encampment at Washington University in St. Louis on [Saturday]. My husband, a 65-year old full professor at [St. Illinois University Edwardsville], was brutally beaten by police. Here is the video of his arrest," she wrote. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the SLMPD, along with several other departments, was at the protest on Saturday. The St. Louis police told HuffPost that they did not arrest any protesters. The department also did not comment on the video of Tamari being beaten.

This isn't surprising.

During the protests over Michael Brown two cops beat the hell out of a guy that turned out to be an undercover cop who infiltrated the protests.

That's the only reason it was investigated at all and the investigation revealed texts between the officers involved in the beating and coverup where they talk about being immune from consequences and we're looking forward to kicking the s%#^ out of people.

Now give that sort of impunity to a whole country and you see why the Israeli's think they can kill without limit or reason.

The US created That monster. It's our Frankenstein.

Never saying No or asking questions has consequences, especially when the same Miscreants are given powerful weapons and buckets of cash.

Israel will destroy itself. Likud is their Nazi party. Likud will be the cause of another great war. IMHO.

Police are trained to escalate violence.

Idiots like you want protesters shot in the head when they don't agree with your political garbage view. He's lucky he still has his life. Here's a quarter, go find yourself a clue.

Yet you have some form of cognitive dissonance in that you want more government regulation.

You are such an abysmally ignorant, stupid moron.

They planned to beat people no matter what. They went out that night with that intention.

The only thing that made it come to light was they got unfortunate enough to target an undercover officer.

Your J6 reference is just f*&^ing stupid and shows all you can do is make base associations.

lfthndmoron: *sticks tongue out while drawing line* connect the two words that are the same *mouths p-r-o-t-e-s-t*

Piss off, shortbus. That you'd laugh at #1 only shows you, like nearly all "c-c-conservatives," don't really care at all about the constitution.

Key difference is Ashli -------- deserved it.

You can't be more of an anti-American POS that lamenting Ashlii Babbit and trash like her. Because that makes you trash, just like her.
