But he became agitated when the interruptions continued, noting that he had been polite to the first two disruptors.
“The third group, I’ll be a little more violent,” he said, “and the fourth group, I’ll say, ‘Get the hell out of here!’ ”
Latino students of Florida International University protested the event while holding up one letter signs, spelling out the word E-Q-U-A-L-I-T-YOne of the FIU students, identified as Ariel Rojas NBC6, was filmed being dragged by the collar of his shirt before falling to the ground. He was then kicked by the man who was dragging him.
