Calls for Chancellor - who said the police were "defending themselves" from these students - to resign. Several students brought to hospital with chemical burns, one coughing up blood.
"Annette Spicuzza, UC Davis police chief, told the Sacramento Bee that
police used the pepper spray after they were surrounded. Protesters were warned repeatedly beforehand that force would be used if they didn't move, she said.
"There was no way out of that circle," Spicuzza said. "They were cutting the officers off from their support. It's a very volatile situation."
In the below video, you can see the "trapped" police officer Spicuzza describes, simply stepping over the sitting students, to go to their faces, turn around, and spray them with pepper spray. I'll bet he was really scared, poor officer! Then other officers joined in with the spray.
These morons who love power keep forgetting that there is a new news media out there - everyone - who no longer allows them to lie with impunity when they break the law.
