Arizona State Police Officer Resigns After Tackling a Professor to the Ground

An Arizona State University police officer resigned Monday rather than get fired for his treatment of a faculty member, the Arizona Republic reported. Officer Stewart Ferrin stopped assistant professor Ersula Ore in May and ordered her to walk on the sidewalk, rather than the road, according to the Republic — and as she argued with him and refused to show identification, the incident escalated to the point that he was threatening to slam her into the police car, she kicked him in the shin, and he tackled her to the ground.
