UC Davis Pepper Spray - What Really Happened

I do not expect anyone to agree with my commentary, and if you would like to watch it without my comments here is the ink http://youtu.be/yjXcaoEAkq4?hd=1 Another interesting video to watch is an interview by one of the protesters who was pepper sprayed. http://youtu.be/U8yHfLDIeBs

This video shows the events leading up to the use of pepper spray by UC Davis police officers. This video shows in chronological order events leading up to the use of pepper spray. I created the video from about an hour of footage, and much of what I cut was when people were standing around and chanting. There were cameras everywhere, so I'm sure if you do a search you will be able to find video of the events from different angles. I encourage people to do their own research... the comments in the video are only opinions.

@Sierra0714 An answer to your statement was best said by JFK.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Rather then just complain about the problems, reach out and do something. This is an example of what happens when students do more then talk about it. People over react and make it into far more then it should be, while trying to bring to the table every thing wrong with the world. Maybe we just need to keep it in perspective.

@nvryder In this case these are students. Their job is to get a education, fix the mistakes of the previous generation and do something more then just becoming paid thugs for the 1%, if you want to put it in OWS terms. Yes they are "Entitled" to get a decent education for a fare price and not have their rights stomped on. They are "Entitled" to protest filling the pockets of the 1% with funds and being beaten into submission for questioning the ones with all the so called common sense.

@mick7sp Anybody can file a federal lawsuit and just because the ACLU is backing it means nothing. There's a reason why they've been called America's Communist Led Union. Common sense would be not thinking you can just open up a camp wherever you want, surround police, and destroy property like it's your own. This is not anarchy wherever people feel like they want to protest, and the Supreme Court has upheld that it is within the constitution to put time/place limits on protests.

@mick7sp common sense would be to get a job and pay for everything like everyone else does. The ACLU? Really? You all complain about how economy is fuked and one of the reasons is organizations such as the ACLU. Who do you think has to pay for all of the crap that the ACLU pushes out? The taxpayers of course! Which is what the OWSers obviously are not considering. Rather than be a problem why don't they part of the solution....

[nvryder]

@Sierra0714 You are exactly on point with your response. "Entitled" is the one word to best describe the OWS movement and what they are all about.....

[mick7sp]

@nvryder You can turn the common sense thing right back around... All the things you are talking about is a drop in the bucket to the well over $150,000 for a reports that do not yet exist and are at least 2 months over due. Not to mention the recently filed federal law suite that is being backed by the ACLU. Common sense would have prevented the entire event if used by the administration and UCPD in the first place. They were suppose to be the wise elders.

[Sierra0714]

@nvryder 100% agreed and this applied to most of the OWS movements throughout the country. In Tampa, FL, they went up to restaurant owners near their camp and demanded free food from them. Once again, money applies to everyone else but these people who felt entitled for some reason to get everything for free.

Kind of a bad spray, should have used a bigger fogger, and more hickory shampoo!

[nvryder]

@skullwalker2000 absolutely.....

[skullwalker2000]

@nvryder ah common sense, fantom58's worst enemy.
