White Officer Who Body Slammed Black Female Professor On Paid Leave
Dr. Ersula Ore
Reported by April V. Taylor
There’s been an update in the case of Arizona State University professor Dr. Ersula Ore. Despite ASU officials initially determining that there was no misconduct, national outrage about the incident has caused the department to backtrack on its initial statement. The university is now requesting that the FBI review whether or not there were any civil rights violations stemming from the incident despite the fact that officials are maintaining that their initial investigation did not find that the department engaged “in racial profiling or use excessive force.”
In addition, the ASUPD officer, Stewart Ferrin, who slammed Dr. Ore to the ground during an arrest for jaywalking, has been placed on paid administrative leave. Dr. Ore has reported that she was violated and disrespected by Officer Ferrin during her arrest on May 20. Dashcam footage shows that Officer Ferrin threw Dr. Ore to the ground and told her that he would “slam” her on the hood of his patrol car. An eyewitness called police during the altercation to report that Officer Ferrin appeared to be threatening Dr. Ore. Officer Ferrin and ASUPD have continued to maintain that his actions were warranted and that Dr. Ore was resisting arrest. Dr. Ore is facing charges of jaywalking and aggravated assault of a police officer.
A local civil rights group is calling for Officer Ferrin’s resignation due to racial profiling. Members of the Maricopa County chapter of the National Action Network have also lobbied outside of a Mesa courthouse in response to the excessive force and racial profiling used by Officer Ferrin. People believe that Dr. Ore was racially profiled due to the fact that she was singled out a group of people who were crossing the street without being at an intersection in order to avoid construction in the area. National Action Network chapter president Bishop Jeffrey Metcalff reports that his group has received a total of 11 complaints against ASU police just this year and that these complaints are proof that campus police racially profile those who they arrest.
One example of officers racially profiling students is the case of Jason Heckendorn. Heckendorn is facing several felony charges related to an incident that occurred when students were purchasing football tickets. A group of students were rushing to get the tickets, and Heckendorn reports that his attempts to keep his friend from being trampled were misunderstood by Officer Ferrin, the same officer involved with Dr. Ore. Heckendorn reports, “He grabbed me, and tried to throw me to the ground. I resisted being thrown to the ground. I resisted being pushed by natural instinct.” Defense attorney Arja Shah states, “Officer Ferrin has been connected to two aggressive circumstances. It shows how situations can escalate very quickly, in an aggressive manner.”

99.9% of the time it is racial profiling. That officer had in his mind this —— do not have the right to question my authority. The officer needs to be dealt with severely.

Is the doctor still employed by the university? The university initially was not on her side.

Questions? Why is it always under cover white officers who make the mistake of shooting the undercover black officers? Why is it the unarmed black man always seems to be shot by white officer? Why is it always the white officers who spit on and/or hit the black woman? Why is it the black officer never makes these mistakes? Maybe the black officers should make a few mistakes and we black people back him/her whole heartily! What do we have to lose here? We have been patient with law, however, it just like an old friend for us…Long time no see!

I agree. If black cops are capable of not making these so called type mistakes ?? What is really going on with the white weak twisted minded so called cops? Shooting unarmed black people. Why? Is it because they fear what they do not understand? (Tupac). Why is it they do not understand? Is it possible they have not ever been raised within the company of a diverse population? so they look at those of color as the boogie man?woman? If this may be the case…. Why are they hired as officer’s of the law? how do you hire people who do not have a correct understanding of diversity and culture of the many different groups of people? If anything those weak scary and racist/ignorant cops of any ethnicity are the ones who we all that are not as ignorant and stupid should not allow to govern our communities/streets. They are also thugs.Like some politicians in suits and ties. Stop playing disrespecting ignorant cops and people. What you dish out comes back to you and yours in one form or another. We do not need animals like you with badges or guns. You are the problem. Not people with darker complexions. Black women are not your problem. Or the black man. Deal with your own ignorant issues. Therefore you may find peace.If you do not find peace. Its because you have mistreated innocent people and no one gets away with anything. Even if it does take a little time. This is fact. Watch how you treat people. Especially women!!! Do you have a mother wife or daughters?well………
