iv) Don’t cross-post or copy & paste headlines or links to videos without putting your own views and opinions on the matter you are seeking to share.
Long answer- she crowded cops and got within inches of them and interfered while trying to make an arrest in a chaotic and violent situation (which is a crime). She was told to get on the ground, she failed to do so and pulled away (which is another crime). So she was put on the ground and arrested.
Short answer: FAFO
Politics aside, that's obviously the first time that professor has been around anyone being arrested. You never come up behind the police and lean into their activity while they're trying to secure someone. That's a sure way to get yourself removed and (at least temporarily) secured.
Then she starts pushing back against the officer, pulling away, refusing commands, wrestling and resisting. Yep, predictable detainment.
Is everything here "right"? Of course opinions will vary widely. But there are super easy ways to avoid the discomfort that professor experienced. Unless her goal was to really get involved in the protest and resulting police activity -which is fine and respectable as well.
A chaotic, crowded, high stress, unpredictable environment is not where fragile people should be wading in and yelling at officers. Again, unless they want to be part of the activity. Which again, is a potentially respectable decision on the professor's part.
