  • suicide?

    its a pain relief essentially...

  • I don't care what the reason is my Uncle is a retired cop and he says he'd rather be tazzered then pepper sprayed. He has been both sprayed and tazzered cause of training and there is no reason that 18 year olds should be pepper sprayed and especially because they were only voicing their opinions.

  • Yes, pepper spray is a food product.

    So is mustard gas.

  • I know I'm going to get hate for this, but the officer needed to make them move because they were committing a crime. Want to know which crime? Disturbance of the Peace. Blocking the road to the students who PAY tuition to go there.

  • @Xdetr3kxX The students who sat in the road also PAID tuition to go there. Your logic fails.

  • @iHaveAnger I laugh at you thinking my logic 'fails', when it's apparent that most of the dirty hippies there aren't students at all. Most are just walk-ons, who saw some stupid liberal rally and now want to be a pain for the people who actually go there.

  • @Xdetr3kxX Okay, "dirty hippies"? Look at the way they're dressed, they look exactly like the students in the background. How can you tell the difference? I bet you've never been involved in a protest in your entire life. Not even a Tea Party rally.

  • @iHaveAnger I don't protest like these scrubs. You have to do it in a way in which it actually matters. You think these kids actually cared about the OWS movement? Of course not. They saw a way to have their debt eliminated at the taxpayer's expense, which is scumbaggary. This all came from a socialistic base, and anyone who openly identifies themself as a socialist needs to leave the US immediately. Like you.

  • It humiliates the police officer by making HIM a joke, and that dumb lady who's obviously never been sprayed with pepper spray...

    And it shines light on violence, so people laugh, and then get pissed and sign petitions...

  • he's hot

  • i was at my friend's house when this news report came on.... the four of us were pissed >:(

  • 0:13 fail

  • I'm okay with causal violable...

  • 9/11... Was a new landing platform essentially.

  • This IS SO FUNNY!

  • I love how people on the news and other tv shit think that memes are meant to be taken seriously. Oprah thought over 9000 was a group of rapists...

  • @Herobrine286 that was funny as hell

  • Lol I died with that "Auschwitz? It's a summer camp, essentially." photo. Fucked up.

  • He was a big fat bastard

  • The guy that hurt the people should die in the hole he was born in....end of story

  • Fox news isn't evil.

    It's actually a series of instructions to get to Heaven.

  • It looks like he's having a shit ton of fun.

  • Pepper spraying is police brutality in USA? First world problems, lol.

  • Damn it poli- "we are sorry this comment has been taken by sopa" not again... Another version of why we all will die without internet

  • pepper spray is essentially a food product!

    lulz.

  • ahem fuck da police!

  • @cajunmane82. There is never an excuse to pepper spray peaceful protesters. Ever.

  • @Cbass0618 they were breaking the law. nuff said

  • @battledog13 AND they were told repeatedly what was going to happen (by the cops who were acting in a calm and collected manner). There is never an excuse to continue an action if you desire to not get peppersprayed, but know that you will be peppersprayed upon perpetuation of your action. Ever.

  • @battledog13 No, not enough said. They were suspected of breaking the law by police officers, which is sufficient by law for the police to make an arrest in order to detain them for a trial. The police however are not empowered to interpret the law and determine if someone has broken it, this requires the judicial branch of government and according to the united states constitution a jury of the accused's peers. This, obviously, did not occur before the police acted.

  • @centuryten wow. that logic is so flawed that i can't even believe it. by that logic, someone committing a kidnapping isn't suspect to being arrested by the police, and should only be apprehended after a judge gives the okay (which is, suffice to say, enough time for the kidnapper to do god knows what to the child). yeah, that makes total sense.

  • As a LOE officer, I am pretty sure you don't understand what excessive force really is. If you are a peaceful protester, we will have no problem. Once you cross the line by breaking the law or when the city says "Your time of protesting is over now leave." and you don't leave, this is when we bust out the OC Spray, taser, etc. This action continues until said disturbances of the peace are neutralized. Oh yeah, some helpful advice...Don't Feed the Pigs!

  • Holy shit, youtube is fucking laggy

  • @descono0cido Really? Isn't for me.

  • Nov. 19 is my birth day

  • this like a sequel to 60's Spiderman :3

  • I use to be a good student till i got Pepper Sprayed in the face

  • "The silly spray! It's in my eye!: First world problems... *sigh*

  • One service the Internet provides is the humiliation of arseholes. This cop can clearly be seen as an areshole and so the Internet turned against him

    I love it

  • Mother of God...

  • Hipsters are the new hippies.

  • GO PEPPER SPRAY COP, TORTURE THOSE HIPPIES!

  • @Krapenhoeffer Awww, that's cute... he thinks he's troll.

  • These memes about police brutality raise awareness- there are over 9000 people on the web who could care less about someting, unless it's funny. Hence, meme form get's the word around. When someone sees the meme, they will often look it up in a atempt to understand it; in this case, they know the back story: police can be douchebags..

  • Mace in yo' face.

  • @HedgehogNinja2 sounds liek you watch jesse cox videos? :P

  • I was worried at first because I thought that this was going to be very heavy handed politically, the people at Know Your Meme did a great job presenting just the facts. While the statement from Megan on Fox News was taken out of context, it wasn't a lie.

    I'm glad that I didn't have to take off a new subscription so quickly.

  • While I don't agree with the LT I do not condem his actions. Personaly I would rather have set up riot shields and waited the protesters out. After all it was a bunch of kids on thier knees in a human chain, not trying to rush the police.

  • And thus, 2 memes were born.

  • fuck the police

  • The video wont load........SOPA? is this your fault?

  • I think its because of this the whole SOPA/PIPA thing is happening. to try to prevent people from getting the truth.

  • Although this happened two months ago. This is still fucking bullshit. They weren't being violent, and the Constitution says we are allowed to assemble peacefully.

  • OF COURSE FOX NEWS DEFENDED THE COP

  • @thebookescape dude get a sense of humor.

  • 1:19 which painting is that?

  • Wait a minute in the simpsons episode when marge becomes a cop, Homer uses her pepper spray as a food product. So essentially this lady reporter was right. Homer win

  • @JilkyInc Homer is a cartoon, not a real person. You can't eat pepper spray, it doesn't actually have pepper in it, it's made from chemicals.

  • " . . . a culture - that says everything about rights but nothing about responsibilities . . . "

    -David Cameron 2011-

    It's a responsibility to leave private property when your asked. Is that really so hard to grasp???

  • I used to be a cop like him, until I took an arrow in the knee.

  • @TopherBlairMusic You're not very bright, are you?

  • @MountainFox51 You're not a very happy person, are you?

  • Hate acts are just sarcasm,

    Essentially.

  • 2:03 i laughed my ass of

  • I think it's smart that people film these and post these pictures/videos. The memes making fun of it are a bit much, but at the same time it gets the story out there.

    I've learned from a lot of this that being tazed sounds a lot more pleasant than pepper spray, too. :P

  • Protesting is fine as long as you don't break the law. Don't do it on private property, don't abstract other people's rights

    Excessive force? London Riots, not enough force used. Those "protesters" killed innocent people when they set fire to their homes. Plus the looting

    Yeah, I know every situation is different and should be judged on a case by case situation.

    But cops are here to protect society. If you hate cops DONT break the law, it YOU'RE fault. Don't Speed, Don't Kill.

  • @CaptJackofficer..dont do it on private property???the occupy movement closest to me was stopped because it was on a public property...(excesive force is really common...after all most cops are wannabe hero)do you really think hurting a random guy will stop a guy who wants to set fire to something(who didnt even see the random guy get hurt)???i hate cops because they usualy dont understand what theyre job is.cops create more problems than the criminals.

  • @DIVAD291 @CaptJackofficer was talking about THIS video, not the movement next to your house. It would seem logical to discuss THIS video since everyone else posting comments here are doing so about THIS video.

    It's just a thought.

    Think, then speak, not the other way around.

  • auschwitz?

    Its just like summer camp

    (NOOOOOT)

  • Occupy "movement" is a joke, the cop was right in his action, hands down.

  • @Weirdgus Hell Yeah! Forget the first amendment!

  • @Weirdgus

    police are there to dispense justice not to make judgments on whether they like the movement or not.

    There was no reason to up the ROEs just because the protesters werent responsing. Ive been in such situations overseas, he did it because he felt they were insulting his pride.

  • @USMarineRifleman0311 how do you know the protesters weren't violent before the incident ?

  • @Weirdgus Whether you think the "movement" is a joke or not is neither here nor there. The officer used excessive force in a situation that posed no harm to his physical well-being and therefore deserves punishment to the full extent of the law. So, no, he was not "right" in his action, sir. However, you may just be a troll, purposely taking an unreasonable and unsupported pov to stir up reactions.

  • @Weirdgus your a joke!so is it legal to kill you?

  • @DIVAD291 NOU

  • Personally, it's all perspective. We're seeing what the protesters want us to see, the cop "brutalizing" these "poor people". What if a cop had the camera? Would we see protesters attacking the cops? Throwing items? Possible weapons and guns? We're seeing one side and should reserve judgment until both sides are seen.

  • pepper spray was illegally used .. it is written , black on white, in every police manual that pepper spray should only be used in case of danger for the policeman or someoneelse.. it is a defense weapon . so using it against peaceful protester, sitting, is ILLEGAL .

  • @paskali79 he used it because the protester where in danger because of the pepper spray so its legal(infinite loop ftw)

  • @paskali79 but when a small number of cops are surrounded by hundreds of student it can quickly be become dangerous. have you ever been surrounded by people of similar size, who would rather see you gone then doing your job which is keeping the peace.

  • I for one would love to see what occured 10 min, 30 min, even an hour before the spraying. But that footage probly doesn't exist anymore, probly deleted. We've only seen what the protesters want us to see. They won't show you footage of them threatening to firebomb macy's, or when they suggest destroying millions of dollars of private property.

  • @Herichimo police officers get crap for things they didnt do...they also think that their pride is more important than the security of other people.to be fair they arent always wrong but they are most of the times...(true story:police officer speed up behind my dads car so my dad also speed up...the police officer arrested him..my dad couldnt argue because he had a plane to take but later he called to understand the situation and they said it was common practice to make quotas)

  • The pepper spray cop is a nazi!

  • what were they protesting?

  • I always knew American police used way to much violence

  • @PotatisSlottet yeah its true

  • Cop theses days aren't real cops ..If Cops do this shit cause their afraid of the people ... and they should be there are more People then cops ..Stand up for what ya believe in  but remember Violence in never an option...

  • This doesn't compare to what the secret police (Stasi) did in Eastern Germany.

  • This meme really needs to be attached to FUCK THE POLICE meme...

  • What you don't see is the other video where the officer went to every single person he sprayed and told them politely that he would have to use pepper spray if they wouldn't move.

  • @lordpoee I also want to be clear, I believe that law enforcement has become dangerously unchecked lately, including its handling of OWS, I just don't believe that in this case the officer was "indiscriminately spraying without warning".

  • @next0gen0 ok thanks! Have fun being a slave :)

  • Is it just me or is it only the same guy every time dong these Memes?

  • this whole movement was a joke from the start. Literally.

    I applaud the police. Send these people back too there damn lives already.

  • did anyone else notice the orange spray around his eyes?

  • His eyes were all red during this video, did he get pepper sprayed?

  • only fox news

    

  • I liked the bit where he used the pepper spray

  • what's so bad about pepper spray? *gets pepper sprayed* OMG THAT BURNS!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUU-

  • that is fuck

    

  • lol fox isn't news

  • @happymushroom100

    silly knowyourmeme.

  • his eyes seem red at end of video.

    irony, you bitch

  • @amazingtoon They were at the start after he got "pepper sprayed", so it's not irony you dumbass.

  • THIRD WORLD SUCCESS

    pepper spray?

    10 calories!

  • The protesters lessened their own impact... didn't need cops or memes for that.

  • @happybunnyntx but when the police get involved, they just end up making it worse (over a period of time)

  • Not moving= Civil Disobedience= the kind of things people do when they protest something

    It's not that difficult.

  • welcome to the true intent of SOPA

  • They should've sent in the Buckingham guards.

    I personally think though that the rioters had it coming. They were warned 3 times to get out of the way, and they didn't. They were warned, could've avoided it, and now everyone's crying because some people got pepper sprayed when they could've moved. The protesters were asking for it.

  • DISASTER GIRL

  • These cops can go fuck themselves. End of story.

  • @disagreer or get hit with a sniper :3 (no trolling)

  • @AnimeGirl5445 Nah, I don't promote violence. We need to rise above it.

  • @disagreer well i do :p lifes gonna be boring without it. what will oprea nag and keep my mother busy with???

  • @disagreer i agree DAMN those cops for taking orders damn it with out them our society would be so much better there would obviously be no crime if we didn't have cops to put the bad guys in jail we would all live happy and not have to worry about people coming in our homes to kill us at night i agree good sir FUCK COPS (sarcasm)

  • I'm glad they got sprayed. Punks had it coming. There is more to this story than you see in the news.

  • this meme with this 'its food essentialy' slut .. how is it called?

    btw pp spray cop is funny as fuck i hope he knows everbody laughs about dis motherfucker

  • @CrayonPhysiks Watch UC davis pepper spray cop the truth, it will show you that they deserved it.

  • Bear Grylls: I'm out in the forrest alone, better drink my own piss

    Pepper Spray Cop: Spray him!

  • My opinion, I never realized images of Officer Davis PPing the protestors would be made into a Meme figure as a joke; (which i laughed on the funny things i saw), but at the same time as a powerful awareness such as images shown on 1:24. Soo, I would say to raise awareness.

  • Why is everyone on the O'Riley Factory a fucking dumb-ass??

  • cops are fucking retarded, they get a high position in country and then they think they are important. noobs

  • Fuck the occupy movement. A bunch of whiny little bitches. The world owes you NOTHING. Earn your own way.

  • @Rubberbandballer I agree, they expect something for nothing and are happy to point out the problems but have absolutely no solutions to the problems as the protesters themselves are costing the economy money while they aren't working. As for the cops the media shouldn't be too critical about their actions as they have a job to do after all the protesters were going against the law. It's a shame that these days police are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

  • pepper

  • trolololololololololololololol­olololololololololol

    Problem off... gah! its in my eyes why o why got had te foshizaken meh!

  • 0:11 raep faic

  • Did anyone watch what happened before this pepper spray? The students were being aggressive (they had surrounded the cops and wold not let them go unless they released those they had arrested - if you want to know more watch a full video) so the police used a non-lethal mild form of crowd control, it was not brutal I for one agree that it wasn't excessive.

  • -4 for police brutality

  • 2:18 AIKIDO FTW!!!!

  • Pepper Spray lol

  • The communist should have moved.

  • you probably thought this comment was about the cop.

    nope

    chuck testa.

  • BLAST HIM WITH YOUR PP!

  • Okay, there is a difference between using pepper spray in an appropriate situation AND SPRAYING IT IN PEOPLE'S FACES.

    Besides, I thought pepper spray was more for self defense.

  • I think what the cop did was over the top, the students did nothing wrong

    Could you go AROUND the students? Yes

    Could you AT LEAST ask them to move? Yes

    Could you do something less on the offense than pepper spray? Yes

    As you can see, the cop deserves to be fired for the unjustified use of the pepper spray on the students, for those of you who may not know, Pepper Spray, if in your eyes, can cause your eyes not to open for maybe days, and all snot currently in the nose comes out.

    Cop = Wrong

  • @Whyit27 The could not go around the students because the students had surrounded them, and the cops asked multiple times for them to move.

  • i think u should cover up the pepper spray label.

  • 0:15 trolololololololololololo

  • KnowYourMemes graciously asks our opinion: here's one. I don't think it belittles what happened to the students who were the victims of Pepper Spray Cop. I think that through humor, this very important political story/footnote of present time in USA (99% Population Now Between SNAFU and FUBAR), has actually helped spread the story around the globe, literally. Humor + Internet = Magic can happen.

    I'll plank to that any day!

  • pepper spray as a food product......pinkie pie? would you like some pepper spray?

  • Pepper spray cop is my hero xD

  • It's a food product?

    PERFECT LOGIC!

  • I used to pepper spray everyone, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • 0:10 Disaster girl but out of pedobear range 

  • I used to participate in internet MeMes... then I took an arrow to the knee..

  • Haters gonna hate.

  • They were illegally blocking a path and the officers even tried to DRAG them out of the way well before the pepper spraying. I'm sure I'll just be thumbed down, but the truth is, the ones to blame are the idiots who were having a little campout in the middle of a highly busy route

  • @Breakfast221 uh huh? well they have a right to protest peacefully. this means the cop had no right to pepper spray them. that would be like someone pepper spraying you for using your right to free speech to expose someone as a criminal. He had no right. You defending him makes thousands of people sick i'm sure.

  • @DarkJoker7 He definitely overused the pepper spray (even one time is enough to be excruciatingly painful). However, notice that nobody except those blocking the path were pepper sprayed. All of the legal protesters were not harmed, only those who were illegally blocking pedestrian traffic on that busy trail. The cops tried to verbally and then forcefully remove them, but to no avail, so they used pepper spray.

  • @Breakfast221 i don't think blocking the pathway was a problem if you pay attention they are in a huge circle around them...so EVERYONE was blocking the pathway. Nothing justifies him.

  • @DarkJoker7 The others were on the grass lawns around the path. The school has trails with grass between them. Standing on the grass does not block anything. The people in the path, however, were breaking the law. They act like the police did not warn them (or "threaten" them), but the police spent more than 10 minutes telling them to get out of there or they will be pepper sprayed and even tried to drag them away to avoid it. They made a choice to be pepper sprayed by staying there.

  • @Breakfast221 You know what the law is there for? It's to make sure the Government stay in power. People could have easily walked around the group, but apparently police brutality is completely necessary to get people off a path. They did not make the choice to be pepper sprayed because for them there was no alternative: they could not move away because then that would betray their beliefs and the police would have won.

  • @DarkLordEnzaemon On the other hand, if the police had not removed them from the path, the cops would not have been doing their jobs. Anything the police would have done would have been labeled as "police brutality" because the little guy always wins. I am not a big fan of the police, but I recognize the need for laws and regulations for the safety of the people. It's a great notion that we can all get along without the need for police "bullies" to tell us what to do, but it isn't realistic.

  • I think it makes it funny but I think it also brings awareness to what the ass holes are doing to innocent people

  • They should put a drop of The Source up there nose that would make them disperse.

  • Wtf? Lol. What kind of cop goes around pepper spraying some random kids down the line? haha. :)

  • am i the only 1 pissed that this is a meme. well at least the occupy movenment might get more supporters

  • I think these kinds of meme's really help spread awareness. They are funny, but shocking. Plus, I didn't know about this event until a few days later when I saw one of my friends post a pepper spray cop meme on his FB page.

  • My pepper spray got empty from casually spraying Romanian vagabond dogs that were trying to bite me, true story.

  • 0:41 to 0:52

    This is him not giving a fuck

  • Do one on arrow to the knee.

  • FUCKING COP! Y U NO TAKE ARROW IN KNEE?!

  • I love know your meme but could you plz do arrow to the knee or FUS RO DA or the legend of Zelda II meme I am error

  • Do the fus ro dah meme

  • YAY Reddit! :happyforeveralone:

  • simpsons did it

  • 0:01 Jizz in my pants

  • What they did was against the law, holding up police like that. They should have been arrested, the so called peaceful protestors were treated as peacefully as possible, it was an extreme act of restraint to not use means of brutish force like I would have suggested.

    If you want to see the entire video of the event, watch the "UC Davis Pepper Spray - What Really Happened" video, I can't post the url for some reason, just search for it on youtube.

  • The police even told the protestors sitting there (like one on one) that they would have to use force if t
