Jill Stein accuses police of assaulting her at protest

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Sunday alleged police assaulted her and other demonstrators shortly before being arrested at a pro-Palestinian protest on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis.

“Basically, the police charged us despite our efforts to de-escalate, they charged us with bicycles. And you'll see … plenty of footage of that around the internet,” Stein said Sunday on NewsNation’s “NewsNation Prime.” “They basically used their bicycles as a weapon to push us back, to push us over onto our backs.
