Emory Student Arrested for Having a Huge Bookbag

Is this supposed to be a joke? Playing music over the actual video isn't a very accurate way to describe what happened.

I came to this video from a comment left by the uploader on the original video. Sadly, instead of just stating what he thought or knew happened, he played insulting music, voice changes and star trek screenshots. This makes his point of view obviously biased and therefore void to any free thinking individual. I see this person as one who relies on wit and humor in an adult discussion.

Oh, and I want to add something to this. The intoxicated woman did not go to the library on her own accord. She was found on the ground and in the rain by 2 students who were leaving Starbucks. These 2 students brought her into the library for shelter and asked the cops to handle the issue thereafter. The cops never planned to detain her either for public intoxication or trespassing; the cops were only trying to help the woman, not kick her out.

aStrayClay, thank you for this. When I asked the officers for a follow-up story the afternoon after this incident, I heard the same story. For further evidence, I actually saw the medics arrive shortly after the PhD student was arrested. I posted the entire story on my FB, but it doesn't seem many ppl have seen it. I'm glad another student sincerely attempted to find out the truth behind all this. Kudos.

@CJoMin Have you got evidence? I mean, outside of your personal testimony, and your obvious slant against this particular person.

[CJoMin]

@machination2 Intriguing. I never expressed, implicitly or overtly, any hatred against this individual; since you're trying to find something that isn't there, I'll be plain: I have nothing against anyone in the video. Truthfully, the student and the cops were trying to do the same thing - help her.

Evidence? Why don't you go to the cops and ask? They're on duty at the lib every day. I entreat you to actually do what you can to figure out the entire story before presenting inane questions.

[machination2]

@CJoMin We'll see the truth of all your claims later. I simply notice that all

are based on your personal testimony, as against the actual evidence

on this footage. Of course, not everyone has the luxury to verify your

claims. This is the internet. I only warn people against believing

people on their word.

[CJoMin]

@machination2 I'm curious, exactly what "evidence" in the footage contradicts what I said?

this is my favorite video ever

Well, you can't blame the cops I mean it WAS a pretty big bookbag.

@ohgoditseverywhere1 HUGE

All he had to do was provide identification. Simple.

[lo9key]

@tenta20 The video clearly shows him displaying his ID. It didn't look like he was creating a problem, he wasn't stopping the officers from helping the lady, I don't see a need to arrest him let alone pin his arms above his bookbag as they did. He wasn't a danger to anyone and was clearly leaving the area.

If he did not have ID, would he have been arrested or simply asked to leave the library?

[aStrayClay]

@lo9key the video begins after he had already been pestering the officers for several minutes. These people have an agenda; they only released the part of the video that made this look like it was an unfounded arrest, as evidenced by the fact that the title and the description of the original video are both bald-faced lies.
