I agree with you. I've seen nothing in the videos that suggests the police were in any way constrained. But because one of the protesters has made a statement supporting the cops' story it must be further examined so the police buffs have no challenge.The cops were justified for what? Because they couldn't escape? Did they think to step over them? Also, did you notice in the video how the cops were walking back and forth with ease, to both sides of the line of students, coming back and forth to spray them more? Even if it had been necessary to use pepper spray to "break through" why did they go around spraying everyone? Clearly the cops were out of line and went well beyond anything that as necessary.
Apparently they wanted the confrontation so they could cry foul...typical miscreant/petulant behaviour shared with the best of martyrs/drama queens everywhere...As the new photo CLEARLY shows, and the student admittedly described, the students surrounded them, sat, and said "You'll have to go through us".
NOW....all 50 state laws say "preventing the free movement of another human being" is, but statute, called "kidnapping".
The cops in that circle COULD have used fists and batons to literally beat their way through.
But instead, they had a commanding officer, the Lt., who used the less lethal liquid pepper spray OC, which has ZERO permanent effects and wears off in 30 minutes.
Should they instead have beaten the students? Hell no. They made the right choice.
Case closed boys. If you surround a bunch of cops and demand "You'll have to go through us", well, the cops are gonna go through you. Dont whine when you get what you asked for.

UC Davis Student Admits Protesters Surrounded Cops and Wouldn't Let Them Leave | NewsBusters.org
Well well well. The UC Davis TRUTH is now leaking out. In the above link, a UC Davis protestor admits that they purposely encircled the cops, and quote: "We had encircled them [campus police], 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"
And "go through" you the cops did. BUT...dont believe the statement? How about the photo? Below, you'll see the cop who sprayed them.......AND the cops who were stuck inside the hippie circle in the back, who were told "you'll have to go through us". HERE is the photo:

This video shows everything, and nowhere is it heard "you'll have to go through us."
UC Davis Pepper Spray Incident, Four Perspectives - YouTube
That and a possible law suitA few of them were hoping to martyr themselves
What kind of inept person can't get over somebody who is sitting? They were already on both sides of the individuals.
Doesn't matter WHAT they say... that had no actual effect on preventing someone from getting around.
I'm an obese individual and even I could still get over those people if I really wanted to.
They just wanted to try out their canisters.
You've got to be fucking kidding me. So you think if a group of people surround a group of cops, and when asked to move, the people say "NO you'll have to go through us", you think they should step over them? Well, police tactics 101 says you NEVER put your weapons within arms reach of someone unless absolutely necessary.
Trust me, they did NOT want to use the spray, look at the shitstorm it created.
BUT....the OWS'ers ASKED for it. Begged for it.
Case closed. UC Davis cops were MORE than justified. In fact, they shouldve used even more force, and went hands on and arrested every piece of shit liberal in that human chain.
Oh please.

No sympathy for these kids, most of whom are spoiled brats, but -
The cops used a chemical agent against people were were unarmed, non-threatening, and could have been handled in other ways.
They overreacted, and they should lose their jobs.

Your picture shows a group of students sitting on the walkway with crowds of spectators on either side. There was no "encircled." The cops could have walked around them, and in fact it appears some of them did. The picture shows cops on each side of the line.
Nice try. And thank you for supporting bad acting cops. May you meet one in the near future.

Follow the circle. The protesters have said they made a circle. If you follow the arc, it would encircle the cops. And yeah, there were cops on boths side. It's called "backup". They didn't encircle the entire department dumbass.
I wont encounter a bad one....for one because the bad ones make up such a tiny percentage of cops the odds are highly unlikely, and two, I follow the law...making it even less likely.
And the jackasses who said "they should've leapt over them", you know 100% that stepping over them would cause a foot to contact a shoulder, head, arm, etc, and there would be 1,000 lawyers waiting to file an "assault" lawsuit based on unwanted contact. Or...a dumbass protestor grabs a cops leg and then the hand-to-hand fight is on.
But then again....I wouldn't mind seeing some of those hippies starting a fight and getting a big fat lip for it.

What "other ways"??? Hand-to-hand force, with possible injuries like broken arms or fights? Batons, that would absolutely cause damage? Guns? Beatings? Dogs?
OC (Oleorison Capsicum), a liquid pepper, was invented in the 1980's as THE OTHER WAY to avoid the above "ways" which almost always end in permanent injuries and more violence.
"Other ways"? OC spray IS the other way.
EVERY aspect of what they did is by the book. They will NOT lose their jobs. They should get an accomodation letter for showing such restraint in the face of those whiny brats. Cops in the 70's would've brought out the batons and dogs. Those hippies got off easy.
