Black ASU prof beaten by campus cops without provocation, charged with assault


A reader writes, "ASU Police beat the crap out of a black professor for walking in the street around construction, throwing her against a police car so hard that they damaged the car. Then they charge her with felony assault."

"Put your hand behind your back. I'm going to slam you on this car. Put your hand behind your back," Ferrin said.

"You really want to do that? Do you see what I'm wearing? Do you see?" Ore said.

She was wearing a black dress and after being "slammed" onto the car, she was wrestled to the ground. Her dress hiked up and her body was exposed.

While both Ore and Ferrin suffered some minor injuries, Ore was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer in addition to criminal damage and obstructing a thoroughfare. She intends to fight the charges.
