Looks like the Police were prepared for War. Look at what they were wearing and how armed they were. Says a lot about the current state of our Police Force no?

how long do the pigs think people will sit back and take it? Once a few cops are shot at and treated how they treat protestors then the real revolution will occur
AMY GOODMAN: I want to turn to Elli Pearson. Elli, describe exactly what happened on Friday.
ELLI PEARSON: Well, we were protesting together, and the riot cops came at us, and we linked arms and sat down peacefully to protest their presence on our campus. And at one point, they were—we had encircled them, and they were trying to leave, and they were trying to clear a path. And so, we sat down, linked arms, and said that if they wanted to clear the path, they would have to go through us. But we were on the ground, you know, heads down. And all I could see was people telling me to cover my head, protect myself, and put my head down. And the next thing I know, I was pepper-sprayed.

I had to laugh when i read this morning that some of these Police were actually claiming they were frightened of these completely unarmed kids sitting and protesting. They're saying this while at the same time wearing their black uniforms armed with body armor,tasers,pepper spray,clubs,and automatic weapons. Now that's some funny shit. They were scared? How bout these poor kids? This is why more people are turning on the Police. They lie.

Won't read that anywhere else.
Has anyone bothered to post proof with a vid or link that the cops held down the protesters while feeding them the spray yet?
If it is true that the protesters acted aggressively toward the cops, deliberately obstructing them would qualify as aggression. That means the spraying occured defensively and the police response could have been much worse than it was. But in light of this new testimony we need to learn more about what happened before drawing any conclusions.AMY GOODMAN: I want to turn to Elli Pearson.

The mention of his military service is stupidly irrelevent. So what if he's an ex-Marine. So am I. And all that proves is your theory about hating cops is truly ridiculous.You call that sloppy-looking porker squared away?Thats right. Once the UC crowd realize that he not only was the pepper sprayer, but a MARINE, oh man their hatred will amplify! Theres few things the typical far lefty hates more than a cop, but a squared away Marine may be one of them.
I was speaking in generality. Not about him individually. Although I'm sure he was squared away 20 years ago when he was a young Marine. 95% of Americans his age are sloppy porkers. Our nation is too fat. You likely are too.

And she deserved it too right? So sad.

I just made a thread on this. Included a photo....a NEW photo....of the circle. Cops were trapped inside it. The man who sprayed was actually on the outside of the encircled cops. They told cops "go through us". One UC professor whined the cops "should've just stepped over them".
No. Thats not how it works. They circled them on purpose, refused to let them leave.
By use of force standards, the cops would have been justified in using hands-on force, batons, tazers since the students were preventing the movement of the cops, aka, obstructing justice and, technically, committing "kidnapping" as all 50 states classify "any unlawful act which prevents the free movement of another human being".

Why was such an elderly lady placed at the FRONT of a horde of protesting morons to get close to the spray anyhow?
OH THATS RIGHT......in police riot team training, they have countless documented cases of protest organizers stating they try to place women, children and minorities near the front because they know it will cause havoc if police enforce anything on these groups.
Blame the assholes who put grandma at the front of the protest, not the cops enforcing the laws.
Fucking pathetic what the liberal masses have turned into in this country. I welcome as many Mexicans as possible, as you all are better workers and citizens than the typical domestic liberal.
You've already drawn your conclusions, pussy....To the point of stating you wish to see cops killed.If it is true that the protesters acted aggressively toward the cops, and deliberately obstructing them would qualify as aggression, then the spraying occured defensively and police response could have been much worse than it was.

Yeah, and you've already claimed it's ALWAYS the police's fault......Now we have new information that shows the protesters were at fault, for acting like a bunch of disrespectful piles of garbage, who were not only looking for a confrontation with campus security, but also shitting all over the rights of students who simply wanted to get to class.And she deserved it too right? So sad.

lol! Pretty hard to converse with some on this Board. Somehow it always gets back to never being the Police's fault. It's always the Protesters' fault. Some really should try looking at things from both perspectives instead of always rushing to defend the Police. Your Government & Police are wrong sometimes. Seriously,it's true. So many Americans just refuse to accept that. It's so bizarre.
