[#OWS] Protect and Serve [VIDEO] |
This was the scene at UC Davis when police arrived to deal with some occupiers. That spray? Oh, that’s pepper spray. Sometimes when people are peacefully protesting you gotta pepper spray them. You know, to let them know that their still alive. Agree with the the Occupy Movement or not–the police across the country have acted terribly in dealing with them. It seems if the government doesn’t like what you’re doing your prone to being attacked, pepper sprayed or whatever feels right at the moment.
*UPDATED*
Just ran across this gem defending this–
UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza said officers used force out of concern for their own safety after they were surrounded by students.
“If you look at the video you are going to see that there were 200 people in that quad,” said Chief Spicuzza. “Hindsight is 20-20 and based on the situation we were sitting in, ultimately that was the decision that was made.”
Right. That cop looks TERRIFIED. He can barely strut while pepper spraying those folks. I SEE FEAR IN HIS EYES.
Check out video of the incident above.
