Davis Strike Against Police Brutality & Tuition Hikes

Students, faculty, and staff at UC Davis have joined together as a response to the request from the protesters at UC Berkley for a system-wide strike. This rally in the quad was meant to raise awareness and fight against tuition hikes and to put an end to police brutality. The regents meeting that was scheduled to happen tomorrow November 16th was cancelled due to student protests.

@demacry These people are trying to get an education. There was no reason for them to raise the price other then greed. The reason they are there is because they have no other way to stand up to a system controlled by people with money. The same thing with the wall street protesters. this is the only way to change things. These are the people tired of getting fucked in the ass by the giant cock of capitalism. How about you stand up for something, and stop insulting people for trying to change..

So what people are saying with some of these comments are that its not ok to peacefully protest i'm confused.... because i'm pretty sure if you were mad enough about something that you were passionate about (reading the comments that YOUR leaving) if YOU decided to protest you would be the dumb asses who would start a riot and violently protest but hey who am i i'm just some random person who believes in my right to PEACEFULLY PROTEST!!

This is where the rubber meets the road people. It is time we ALL put ourselves in the way of this system which is slowly strangling us all. Stand up and face these oath breaker cops and don't strike back with violence. Strike back by not cooperating with them. Stop paying their salaries. You know when the British empire got to this point where they were attacking protesters in India they had already lost the fight only they didn't know it yet. Gandhi beat them by NOT COOPERATING! Be strong!

Could someone please explain why a government-owned school receiving taxpayer dollars should have the right to raise tuition by 81%? I cannot see that as anything other than an abuse of power, and then when the students exert their First Amendment rights, they get violently abused by the police. This is a further abuse of power.

I don't understand how anyone can condone multiple abuses of power.

@1beastlybeast Well then I would have deserved it, wouldn't I have? Obviously these people are committed to a belief, a belief that many others hold as well. I just don't see the point. Most likely nothing is going to change. This isn't life altering like the protests that were apart of Arab Spring were. This is just something that is going to happen, and as people become more greedy, then they are going to want more money for services rendered. 'Nuff said.

@1beastlybeast The phone number was correct. I called it and got "The mailbox for Lieutenant John Pike is full." I'm guessing he bought a new phone. It serves him right that he had to spend his money that way.

@Fall3IA Inflation has increased 81%?

@SeattleSmeghead dick.

@scottandrewhutchins No way this is legit.. probably been changed by now if it is

@demacry dick.

@Fall3IA Yes, prices naturally increase with inflation and time, but when the amount becomes so noticeable that 99% of people are affected, then there's most likely a better way to reconfigure things and make it cheaper. These people all feel the same way about something and they're trying to make a difference without interfering with the lives of others. I don't see you putting any group together to oppose them.and lets just let the police start beating you until youre insides bleed.
