Mizzou professer charged with assault

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/01/25/assault-charge-filed-against-mizzou-professor-who-called-some-muscle/79298692/

A misdemeanor assault charge was filed Monday against a University of Missouri assistant professor who received nationwide attention when she called for "some muscle" to help remove a student journalist from a campus protest in November.

Melissa Click, who works in Missouri's communication department, faces a Class C misdemeanor simple assault charge for the incident, in which she was filmed having physical contact and berating a student journalist, according to the office of Columbia, Mo., prosecutor Steve Richey. The student was trying to conduct interviews at a site set up on the university's quad by students protesting the treatment of African Americans by administrators.
