U.S. POLICE VIOLENCE JUST LIKE THE 60s

We’ve sewn together two clips filmed six decades apart, that show the same thing: Police violence in the US.

The top footage captures officers quashing civil rights protests in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963.

The one below it shows officers hurling to the floor Emory University professor Caroline Fohlin at recent pro-Palestinian protests.

She says they smashed her head on the concrete after she confronted them for 'pummelling’ a young student on campus. She’s been charged with disorderly conduct and could face a year in jail. Just one of hundreds of university protesters detained and bearing the brunt of heavy-handed police crackdowns nationwide.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Are we back in 60s America?
