Faculty and students are calling for the resignation of University of California, Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi today after a campus police officer directly pepper-sprayed occupy movement protesters who had locked arms and were seated on the ground last week.

"I personally feel really very bad about what happened to students in the whole incident," Katehi said.

At a teleconference Saturday, Katehi said she didn't think it's "appropriate" for her to resign, the Modesto Bee reported.

She initially voiced support of the police, who wore riot-gear during the stand-off, having given them to order to dismantle the UC Davis Occupy encampment because camping on college grounds is officially forbidden.

Katehi announced she had formed a task force to probe Friday's pepper spraying incident on campus, which was captured on camera by several onlookers.

"The use of pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all and raises many questions about how best to handle situations like this," Katehi wrote in a statement posted on the school's website.

But Los Angeles attorney Okorie Okorocha called the pepper spraying unreasoned and excessive.

Taking the right to vote is a common step towards dictatorship. Being poor is not a legitimate reason to be denied rights.

@wswettenham What about people who are physically unable to work? Unskilled people? People who live in areas of Rife Unemployment, who look everyday for a job that just isnt there? What about Single Parents? Especially The single parents of newborns or toddlers? No vote for these guys?

The PURPOSE of Welfare is the support people in hardship until such a time that they CAN contribute. There are programmes, policies and inspectors in place to weed out people who make no effort to find work.

We are not suffering from big government. With the program of deregulation, we are in fact suffering from big business. It was written at the founding of this nation, and it remains true today. ' The United States is all about the commerce.' Before deregulation, at least an attempt was made to balance liberty with profit. Now, liberal is a bad word, and profit matters more than our citizens.We sold our country to the one percent, hoping that they would trickle down some scraps. It didn't work.

@wswettenham you are a fucking retard who obviously never worked a day of a minimum wage job in his entire life.

@crazymormonjenkins The USSR had NO income equality precisely because the fuckers at the top were stealing from the people. Is it absurd to want a system where individuals are held to a standard of ethics?

Can someone spray the narrator of this video clip, please.

[wswettenham]

How about this. If you are on a Government sponsored program such as welfare, or you collect food stamps YOU SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE!

You are a disease on society, you contribute nothing so you should have no say. Have some pride!

[wswettenham]

When will you ingrates realize that the leager and more involved the Government gets, the worse off we will be. Look at Welfare, Foodstamps........all these Government run programs that are turning this country into lazy, ignorant clowns. STOP WELFARE, STOP FOOD STAMPS! It is time to cut the fat from the USA and make us great again. Never should a working individual, through his earned money, pay for another individual not to work. Get real people or face the consequences of our stupidity

[wswettenham]

These jack-ass students, who I'm sure don't even know what they are protesting know there may be consequences to their actions; it's common sense stuff. For some reason kids nowadays feel as though they're ENTITLED. Well, YOU'RE NOT. You want money-Work for it. You want to go to college-Pay for it. You want a house-Buy it. I don't owe you anything, and neither does your government, except to PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE. Life isn't fair...MOVE ON! Thank you officer, a hundred times over
