    It's amazing that some people are trying to justify the police actions, this is abuse of power.

    The law states "no resistance means they can use no force"

    So, no. He isn't doing what's "right."

    If you watch the complete account (hhPdH3wE0_Y), you get a better idea of what happened. The police had arrested some protesters. The other protestors encircled them and would not let them leave with the arrested protesters. The police issued warnings and told the students to make way for them. "If you let them go, we will let you leave" was the confrontational response; the protest was non-violent, but it was not conducted in the spirit of peace.

    Power abuse. They were sitting, and that is it. Who deserves to get pepper sprayed in the eyes for this? Nobody.

    LOL..

    Not as ancient as yourself, but I do remember grandpa talking about fighting Rommel.

    You should remember the propaganda films from the 40's.

    Hell, your Dad should have told you the things they were doing over there. It started with laws and cops to enforce them, Illegal for people protest, or even gather together, then Illegal to be Jewish.

    The #1 Nazi tactic?... LYING.

    The cops did the right thing? What are you, some Liberal? You probably are. The law states that the Citizens of this country are allowed to peacefully assemble. That MK-3 Pepper Spray, used by the department, was UNAUTHORIZED, not only because the group was peaceful, but because the department was not approved for it. Do your research before you make dumb-ass comments like "The Cops Did Right"

    The department was also not authorized to use that spray

    Sadly a lot of police justify attacks like these, by saying they didn't move when told "thus resistance". :/ That's how people get shot and killed now, for harmlessly doing nothing.

    Cops did the right thing! Hippie crap, get over yourself, please! What annoys the the most in the so-called crying injustice and moral superiority of these people! One track minds...no fantasy...not knowing when to stop...!

    In other countries when the citizens outnumber the police the citizens tend to immediately fight back when the police cross the line. Throw some stones are something people! Chanting "shame on you" is the most bullshit hipster response to this situation I could have ever imagined.
