The shocking new footage shows Click at a protest on October 10 when black Missouri students blocked homecoming parade and were shoved away – which led to eventual resignation of former university president Tim Wolfe.
Students halted the parade to protest right in front of Wolfe’s convertible, complaining about the college’s failure to address an alleged catalog of racist incidents including the smearing of a swastika in human feces on a wall.
Demonstrators also took turns on a megaphone to speak about incidents of alleged systemic racism from the founding year 1839 through 2015.
Officer’s body camera footage shows Click among the protesters as police ask repeatedly for demonstrators to ‘clear the road, move out of the road. Let’s go, let’s go.’
They come face to face with Click who stands between the students and officers, and begins shouting at them to ‘back up, back up.’
Colombia police shout back that the professor has to ‘get out of the road or get arrested’ and one officer appears to momentarily take hold of her arm.
Click screams back at the officer ‘Get your f***king hands off me.’
‘We must have high expectations of members of our community, and I will address these new revelations with the Board of Curators as they work to complete their own review of the matter,’ Foley said in his statement.
In November, the professor was caught on camera siccing muscle on a student journalist who was trying to cover a protest on campus on Carnahan Quadrangle.
She is seen marching up to Mark Schierbecker, a photographer, and trying to cover his camera before demanding that he leave.
‘Who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?’ she yells out. ‘I need some muscle over here.
He says: ‘I’m media. Can I speak to you?’ She replies ‘no’ and tells him to ‘get out’.
When he refused, insisting he had a right to be there, she is seen yelling at other people nearby: ‘Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some muscle over here.’
Schierbecker’s video of his run-in with Click went viral, amassing more than 2.7million views, and he filed a complaint with university police.
After Click was charged, the photojournalist released a statement which said: ‘Although my video might seem to pin free speech issues on an individual, Click’s actions reflect a broader problem that students and journalists are facing on college campuses.
‘I don’t want anyone to assume that because the city is dealing with her criminal behavior, that this problem goes away. ‘
He urged the university to enact ‘reasonable protections that ensure journalists can gather news without being strong-armed’.
He added: ‘Missouri started working on this problem this summer with the passing of the Campus Free Expression Act, but there still remains much to be done to ensure that Mizzou can be a safe space for journalists.’
Foley said last month that officials will consider whether Click should be removed from the classroom until her legal proceedings have been completed – but added that he believes she does not pose a risk to anyone.
‘We are confident that she does not present a danger to anyone but we have to protect our learning environment for our students,’ he said.
‘She had a moment of heated anger that day. I just do not think the person is dangerous.’
Describing her as an otherwise ‘model citizen’, Foley added that her application for tenure would continue as normal as making a ‘hasty decision’ could lead to ‘more turmoil’.
Days after the confrontations, Click publicly said that she regretted her actions, and that she apologized to Schierbecker and all journalists as well as the university community for detracting from the students’ efforts to improve the racial climate on the Columbia campus.
She also stepped down from a courtesy position at Missouri School of Journalism a day after the incident.
The media professor could have faced up to 15 days in jail after pleading guilty to the charge of third degree assault last month.
But on January 29, the city prosecutor announced he would drop the criminal charge in a year if she completes her community service.
Click remains suspended from her job at the university pending a review by the UM System Board of Curators and is not allowed to step foot on campus.
The disgraced professor has since admitted she made a mistake and told the Missourian she would ‘fight to be treated fairly’ to get back her job.
Pam Henrickson, chair of the board investigating the case, said in a statement that the board is investigating whether further action is ‘appropriate’.
The action came after Foley admitted that the protests were a sign that they ‘need to do more to be fully inclusive’.
Foley took the help three months ago after former chancellor R. Bowen Loftin and president Tim Wolfe resigned after student hunger strikes and a boycott of football games until they left.
