whoever can can whatever about the incident, but its about standing up for yourself. both the police and the students stood up for theirslef. the kids did what the hell they thought was right...and the cops did what they needed to do to protect theirself....i could see how they felt threneted...both sides felt threanted.

@fallenkingdan Dude, the Humbolt case was criminal trespass on private property. I doubt they had the correct permits to hold a sit in on the company's HQ's lobby.
@agonizethis That didn't stop the court ruling that the police violated the protesters 4th amendment rights and that the use of pepper spray was unnecessary and excessive. The kids at UC Davis weren't trespassing and yet they still got sprayed. This kind of police abuse of power will only escalate, it's not something that's likely to get better. Next you'll have police macing people for jaywalking, and there'll still be idiots saying it's perfectly justified!
@agonizethis and the justice system ruled it excessive force... so, there you go.

By the way, I've been pepper sprayed for training. It hurts, not to the extent that this idiot plays it up, but it does hurt and it makes you want to be more negotiable. It doesn't feel like hot glass, it feels like someone just hit your eyes with a blast of heat from an old car's exhaust pipe, at least for me anyway.

@TheEnviousdominous Part of civil disobedience is the acceptance that one may face legal consequences for ones actions....not cry and play like they are innocent victims.

I think I'm going to fair here. Both sides are wrong. is this guy kind of a jackass? yah. but was he entirely wrong? no. they thought that they had been wronged, so they stood up for what they believed in. And im not talking about the wallstreet shit, im talking about the evacuation of the camp and the arrests. but the cops were also in the right because they saw the students circling them as threatening. pepper spray shouldnt have been the first option. i would have just walked through them.
you sir.. are a douche bag.. awww your poor "hot glass in your eyes". i've gotten pepper sprayed before too and it doesnt need to be portrayed as an epic novel event. YOU DESERVED IT
@ziggs0323 Students had a permit from the Chancellor Kastehi to stay. She ordered campus cops to remove the tents, not students.

@ziggs0323 Theres also a video of the chancellor apologizing for the students, and she even said she wish she wasn't the chancellor of the university of those students.
@ziggs0323 Yes because sitting down chanting is oh so threatening when your wearing full riot gear and armed with pepper spray. Like the officers were in danger of any physical violence from a bunch of pacifist hippy students who were all unarmed, give me a break, talk about a lack of balls and brains.
The second is, They were not blocking the police, they simply sat down. The police could have left, if it was their intention. They were well within their rights to Assemble on the university quad.
Now let me take a look at your First Amendment. It says 'No law abridging the freedom of speech', also this funny little note, 'interfering with the right to peaceably assemble'. I guess you didn't 'here' that part of the First Amendment, oh well, minor details!
@purpleprinc3 The second the protesters said "you let them go, and we let you leave", it was no longer a peaceful assebly. That is a threat. I've been peppered spray as a part of my training. It sucks. I work for a police department, and they had a right to pepper spray those students.
@domoniquetorres11 With all due respect, that was in reaction to the unlawful actions of officers interfering with the right of those to assemble peacefully as stated in your First Amendment. If officers cannot uphold the law, how can you expect civilians to. When a government acts unlawfully, so does its civilians. You cannot expect double standards where it suits you. However I do not blame the police, it is the politician's who give out these orders and know there effects.
when you saw your friends getting arrested why would you not leave? if my friend were to tell me that police in riot gear were coming my way i wouldn't say "oh what do i do?" i would get my ass out of the way and not get in a circle and start singing. idiots
lol.. this is soooooooooooooo sad... how can they even justify what they did right if they did everything illegal to begin with...
im not a pro - cop, but i respect the law and follow it, and if a police officer gets out of hand, i sue the shit out of him/her.
Stop fucking crying hippies, and follow the law next time. Half of these protests originate from dumb kids who thinks they are entitled to everything..
You don't need a reason to follow an order from someone who is in power. When the chancellor asked you to leave... you should have done it. They dont have to give you a reason.... you pretentious child. Go cry at home instead of fighting tears with your powerful speech.
@jennybabylove21 I wouldn't exactly use the word "powerful" to describe his speech, but I'm with you all the way! "We're just kids!" How many times has he said the exact opposite to his teachers and parents? If they were kids, they'd be camping out with their parents, not their dealers. How old are they? I'm going to say all at least 18, so they can vote. No "kids." They're Tom Hanks in "Big": grown up body, but still a kid's brain and maturity.
Not even going to watch this full video. Hippies like this guy are the reason the peaceful protest went to shit. I personally wouldn't want a "camp" full of college kids living on my school campus, and I'm pretty certain that's not allowed. When someone yelled riot police, you held hands and started chanting? Wow. How about listen to the authorities and hear what they have to say so you don't get into trouble. Everyone there knew exactly what they were getting into
You guys are kids, 20 year old selfish kids. While they're are thousands of Soldiers, Airmen, seamen and Marines the exact same age as you, many who are younger. They have sacrificed they're life, leaving they're friends and family forever protecting your freedom and rights. These People are MEN and WOMEN of the United States. YOU are KIDS.
@skirider8; their not ignorant people their stupid people. Ignorant means not knowing, stupid means not knowing and not wanting to know. This protestors clearly don't know their laws and are playing the victim role.
See ignorant people like him do no understand that doing the exact opposite of what the police say is breaking a law. There was a police vehicle coming through the path, he was one of the twenty or students who did not want to move for it. A police officer said he was going to use force if they did not listen. Those police officers are saints, they should have not put up with their disobedience as long as they did.
I am glad that you were part of circling police and trapping them. Also you are just a child for your reaction. You go to one of the greatest schools in California, one of the greatest in the nation and you disgraced it. You say that you did not know what was going on, but the police officer told each and one of the students who were sprayed what was going to happen. Stop being ignorant get your degree and go make the difference and actually support your cause.
"I just buried my face in my chest"...."allowed a police officer to point blank spray pepper spray into our face 3 times while we looked him into the face" I'm wondering how someone can make up such bulls**t?
You blocked their path. They told you to move because interfering with them is against the law. You were warned many times they would use force if you didn't move. They used pepper spray on you. Sounds okay to me. If I ever do something stupid like that I expect someone to come pepper spray me as well.
@icookfood36 haha, he made it sounds like the cops pepper sprayed kindergartners. especially because they weren't doing anything but sitting in a circle singing.
I can't even watch this, this is so sensationalized and exaggerated
the cops gave you guys warnings many times, and you CHANTED OVER THEM, drowning out the orders from the police, who were trying their very best to disperse the protesters in the most peaceful way possible
Dude you are a fag. Jesus watch some fucking 60's documentaries and learn how to properly protest. I watched the video of the pepper spray incident and you guys look like dumbasses.
Stop acting like spoiled children with nothing to do. Your parents don't pay your tuition for you to play hacky sack, obstruct pathways, living in tents on the quad. You were sprayed because you falsely imprisoned police. As a fellow student, I have the right to live my life undisrupted by your protests. While you were chalking epic hop scotch lines on the sidewalk, I was in the library working hard, or serving coffee at my JOB so that I could take less loans. How much do you spend on pot?
Way to twist and say anything to make it look like you are actually a victim. We saw the video, we know what happened. You broke the law, you got peppered sprayed.
if you support the protests on wall street and the rate hikes, good for you, just don't act like the people in /watch?v=hhPdH3wE0_Y&feature=player_embedded#!
it's bad enough that he is speaking about this bull shit, but the lady next to him is telling the deaf people too. This guy said "we sat down because we did not know what to do" WTF is wrong with this dip shit. Looks like the only thing being taught at Davis is how to draw an "Epic Hop-scoth" and complain. What a fucking pussy.
Maybe the cops didn't leave because u blocked them in you moron. They came in riot gear because you aren't protesting your rights anymore your protesting to let your friends go. Maybe you should get up and leave morons. Guess the pepper spray got you yards to move lol!
You dumbass on stage: Maybe you didn't hear because you were disrespectfully changing "fuck the police" & other crap. You are full of lies in your "speech". The police were there for hours (IN RIOT GEAR) giving you multiple warnings. "Your proudest moment of your life is pathetic". Your ass should be in jail. Check this site: law.onecle.com/california/penal/148.html I bet your parents are embarrassed. They worked for you to go to college, I assume, and you are THIS full of shit.
After watching the full sequence of videos from that day, I can't believe how many things are just complete and utter lies in this guy's speech. He has a the right to express his frustrations and with being pepper sprayed, but if he's going to do so with this level of dishonesty then his appeal holds absolutely no purpose.
There is nothing in this speech to be proud of. No point given for the protest. Nothing heroic about breaking the law and resisting arrest, nor surrounding police and refusing to leave. He is only a victim of his own lies and deception. It is the minority that believe anything was accomplished by this protest. It's just a sad commentary on how a few people can persuade others to repeat their chants and follow like sheep.
The students were told they were violating the law. They were given multiple warnings of what was going to happen. They refused to listen to each warning and treated them like jokes. Real lack of common sense there on the students part. Do not violate the law then cry victim because you don't like the consequences of your actions.
@GoddessAngelinaj Shame on you for your comments in regards to soldiers using civilians as shields and that individuals who join the military weren't smart enough to get into college. People like you who don't understand a soldier's patriotism to join is revolting. You're equal to the people who called vietnam veterans "baby killers" and spit on them.
"Were just kids." No. You are legal adults fully responsible for your actions. You were given almost a dozen warning of what the consequences would be and you were too naive and arrogant to disperse. IMO. You deserved everything you got. You are lucky I wasn't there to beat your pussy asses.
Not a single one resisted arrest.... Oh except all of them preventing the police from taking the arrested people out of the area. Try reading the law.
wow... he had no idea this was going to happen.... he had been warned repeatedly that pepper would be used prior to the spray being used. AND the spray came from the officers IN FRONT. Why does he need to lie about it. OH, THAT'S RIGHT it is because he KNOWS he was breaking the law!
Just because it is "safe and welcoming" doesn't mean it is legal. Especially after being warned the day before that it was illegal and would be removed and anyone refusing to leave the area would be arrested. Then you don't leave and some get arrested, but that isn't enough for these people, now they prevent the police from taking the arrested people out of the area (a much more serious crime). They aren't protesting corporate greed. They are simply being breaking laws for their own publicity.
After watching the video, about what really happened. Half of what this guy says is meaningless propaganda and the other half is lies. The fact that he talking about the protesting and not about the purpose of the protest suggest that he really doesn't care about the initial issue. Propaganda keeps us blinded, no matter whose propaganda it is.
apparently ya'll don't know that you are on a federally/state funded college where they own every part of your university. you are paying to use their property and when signing to attend their college you agree to abide by their laws one of which is not camping on the grounds. the pepper spray happened cause you blocked their path and refused to leave after multiple warnings. even if you didnt hear the warnings in what society would it ever be legal to block a law enforcers path. way to go idiot
@lostdude93 Would it be better to beat the kids with batons? Perhaps prying them apart one by one when they were obviously outnumbered? Lets face it, giving each individual in the chain the opportunity to acknowledge that force would be used to remove them was more than kind and fair. They used the least permanently harmful way to clear the crowd. Do you suggest that the police should have capitulated?
@lostdude93 The police cleared an unlawful encampment showing great patience and restraint. Those that resisted were arrested and the police were leaving with those in custody while allowing the rest of the people to do what they wanted. When surrounded and threatened that they were not allowed to leave, what do you suggest they do? When faced with a chain of people on the ground, are they supposed to step over them and carry those in custody over the top??
You are not kids, you are in college, so quit trying to tell people you are "just kids". You were told to leave because you violated the city's rules by not having a permit to camp out in the quad. You were warned and warned, but continued to violate the orders of the police. you chanted fuck the police, and told them you would give them a moment of silence. Now, after you violated the law and threatened the cops, you will stand here and tell us you deserve our sympathy? thats truly pathetic
This "testimonial" is fallacious. You went against a police order and were warned and warned and WARNED. It shouldn't have been a HUGE shock that you got pepper sprayed (he was shaking the silly pepper spray for a good minute) You chose to get pepper sprayed. You shouldn't have provoked the police. He went one by one asking if each person understood that force would be used on them, YOU COULD HAVE LEFT.
@kgpayne75 yes, but. What were they doing wrong? What were they doing that was so illegal that merited the use of violent and malicious police actions?
these individuals surrounded the police and were all warned(while they were chanting "fuck the police from davis to greece"sounds like singing) and all of them confirmed that if they wouldn't allow police officers to leave force would be used to unblock the path. This was not some out of the blue sudden thing.. it took all day to build up to that point, the "peaceful" protestors afterward told police "we will allow you a brief moment of peace so that you may leave"... this could've been avoided
@tsnipe28 Well they were peaceful. They were in no way violent or malicious. You're allowed to say "fuck the police" it violates no laws. The worst thing some people did was resist arrest.
Hey kid, act like a man you get treated like one. If you are a kid, stop playing an adults game. I have seen the entire video of that day, you can twist your reality but the tape doesn't lie. Go look for attention somewhere else.
I don't think he is a kid. I watched "UC Davis Pepper Spray - What really happened." The police were trying to leave and the protestors blocked them in. The protestors were given plenty of warning. The police were not trying to stop the protesting, only the camping. While the students weren't being violent, they were obstructing the police from leaving. It would have been worse if the police physically removed the protestors, so, pepper spray was the best way to passively remove them.
@salvationiseternal they were also told they could protest but not camp out on campus and they did anyway since they didnt want to leave they got pepper sprayed non lethal force
A few months back Ive been pepper sprayed during training. It was voluntary and a great experience. As a tool it is very effective and it will most of the time disable the threat. The pain is intense and the breathing is hard which create panic. I would never use that tool on a passive person. There was no logical reason to use pepper as there was no threats from the protester.
@chubbykitty21 clearly you have never taken a stand for something you believe in like they did, those people were only participating in a non-violent protest, and no they may not be kids but they are far from being " all grown up " The so called law acted against one of our rights, they should be the ones punished and not the protestors. You know, everything about the government not only disappoints me but it makes me sick.
@sparkle2928 dude your talking to scum and many are paid to talk shit about the protesters. it all politics . the politicans hope to get half the vote from them ,they make littel grunts about the occupiers like there helping them or supporting them, usa sends one hundred billion of aid to the world every year but cant afford portable pottys for there own citizens, ya right
SOLIDARITY - UK Well done and the greatest respect to you all, espescially to those that were pepper sprayed by the mad cop, and suffered violence at the hands of the hired thugs,
This guy is just a dumbass pot head. He talked about how they were just kids. Look at yourself your in college and have a fucking beard. You are not a kid. Not cooperating with police is breaking the law jackass.
@chubbykitty21 Are you serious?!? You obviously have NO clue whatsoever! The police were the ones acting unlawfully, Peacefully protesting is not against the law! If you suffer from mental health issues I apologise but you should probably be better supervised
@fallenkingdan the students were told not5 to camp over night at the campus and they did for a few days they would not get up from the ground so the officer used a NON-LETHAL method of force coming from a MP he used correct methods to get the students out of the campus
@gibsonLPS I think you'll find you are mistaken. Whether the students are allowed to camp or not is not the issue here. It's the excessive force used by police. Pepper sprays proper legal use is in defence when an officer is threatened or in physical danger. The way it is used here is a violation of these kid's 4th amendment rights. It was ruled to be so in a similar case. If they'd used lethal force would you be coming up with excuses for them then too? It's sad you think this is ok!
@fallenkingdan But surrounding the police is perfectly fine, they were asked to leave, and were breaking the law for not doing so. These kids got what they deserved.
Well u can't disobey the police it's a public sidewalk u can't camp in the middle of it

I think I'm going to fair here. Both sides are wrong. is this guy kind of a jackass? yah. but was he entirely wrong? no. they thought that they had been wronged, so they stood up for what they believed in. And im not talking about the wallstreet shit, im talking about the evacuation of the camp and the arrests. but the cops were also in the right because they saw the students circling them as threatening. pepper spray shouldnt have been the first option. i would have just walked through them.

@ziggs0323 Students had a permit from the Chancellor Kastehi to stay. She ordered campus cops to remove the tents, not students. The problem is people here are posting opinion without knowing the fact. Students were not blocking anything.There is a huge error in the design of the Centennial walkway; it does not lead anywhere.It is just a symbolic but useless path. I am from a free country where police serves citizens. I can not believe people in developed country support cops harassing students.

@domoniquetorres11 Here are two tips for an oppressive government.
1) Abridge the freedom of speech.
2) Interfere with those who peacefully assemble.
Now let me take a look at your First Amendment. It says 'No law abridging the freedom of speech', also this funny little note, 'interfering with the right to peaceably assemble'. I guess you didn't 'here' that part of the First Amendment, oh well, minor details!
purpleprinc3 2 months ago
@purpleprinc3 The second the protesters said "you let them go, and we let you leave", it was no longer a peaceful assebly. That is a threat. I've been peppered spray as a part of my training. It sucks. I work for a police department, and they had a right to pepper spray those students.
domoniquetorres11 2 months ago
@domoniquetorres11 With all due respect, that was in reaction to the unlawful actions of officers interfering with the right of those to assemble peacefully as stated in your First Amendment. If officers cannot uphold the law, how can you expect civilians to. When a government acts unlawfully, so does its civilians. You cannot expect double standards where it suits you. However I do not blame the police, it is the politician's who give out these orders and know there effects.

Just because it is "safe and welcoming" doesn't mean it is legal. Especially after being warned the day before that it was illegal and would be removed and anyone refusing to leave the area would be arrested. Then you don't leave and some get arrested, but that isn't enough for these people, now they prevent the police from taking the arrested people out of the area (a much more serious crime). They aren't protesting corporate greed. They are simply being breaking laws for their own publicity.

A few months back Ive been pepper sprayed during training. It was voluntary and a great experience. As a tool it is very effective and it will most of the time disable the threat.

There was no logical reason to use pepper as there was no threats from the protester.

@gibsonLPS I think you'll find you are mistaken. Whether the students are allowed to camp or not is not the issue here. It's the excessive force used by police. Pepper sprays proper legal use is in defence when an officer is threatened or in physical danger. The way it is used here is a violation of these kid's 4th amendment rights. It was ruled to be so in a similar case. If they'd used lethal force would you be coming up with excuses for them then too? It's sad you think this is ok!
