Police Pepper Spray Peaceful UC Davis Students.

This is just as partisan as the guys that support the cops blindly.
Where is the hard information? Why does no one seem to be interested to know?

 

A vast difference in breaking the law in the case of a pure criminal act and doing so because you are standing up for what you believe in. However many of the conservatives are anxious to lump the two together.

 

If it is all over youtube, provide a citation that we can see regarding this specific event.
Where is the evidence?

 

It would be a lot easier to support them if what they believed in wasn't complete tosh!

 

Still nothing but partisan wailing.

Besides, I like Tosh.

 

If the cop sprayed you with pepper spray, then dragged you away as you screamed in pain...and then charged you with trespassing...the officer would be breaking the law in the way he enforced the law. Just as we cannot pepper spray or assault people cutting across our lawn, police cannot assault non violent people, but they can charge them and cuff them if they have committed a crime. I suspect the reason a park is closed late at night is for your own protection from drug dealers and riffraff.

 

In other words people should not stand up for what they believe in unless they confirm it with you first?

 

Goodnight everyone. Let me know if you actually have any new information and not just ranting. That stuff tells us nothing about the event, but everything about you.

 

Here are a series of pictures showing what I'm talking about.


The Chancellor made a public apology and put the police on leave because UC Davis is one of the most liberal Universities in the country along with being smack dab in the middle of Hippy Town USA. The 9th Circuit Court did rule that it was illegal to pepper spray non-violent protestors. However, the 9th Circuit is the most activists court of appeals in the country, but it's still the law.

Basically this is a huge cluster(*)(*)(*)(*).

I personally loved seeing those nimrods getting hosed.

But as an American, I'm starting to see the other side of the coin here in that we the people are the Police's bosses, not the other way around.

It all depends on wether or not the cops perceived an immanent threat to themselves and that they thought the only way to squash that threat was with pepper spray.

We can't make that decision sitting on our computers using hindsight.

 

Some people like that Lt in the Army who said people are worth less than the bullet used to kill them. Anyone who sees no value in human life needs a psych eval.

In the college police situation - it was a flagrant disregard for the welfare or lives of US citizens legally protesting peacefully. Indifference to human suffering - or worse, enjoyment, is psychotic.

 

How dare anyone demand the right to contribute to the nation by asking for a college education that doesn't keep him in hock for a good portion of his life.

America sorely needs more uneducated people to compete with the rest of the world.

 

Its not just THEIR CAMPUS. OTHERS go there too!

Are you kidding? Where does it say in the LAW that they can do whatever they want and screw the law? It doesn't. Amazing this had to be pointed out.

I love what he did and know he wont loose his job over this.

Spoken like a true liberal. Screw the law when its a cause we like.

This is why you loose.

 

You want law? No problem.

section 409 of the California Penal Code: Failing to disperse. Unlawful assembly.

Every person remaining present at the place of any riot, rout,
or unlawful assembly, after the same has been lawfully warned to
disperse, except public officers and persons assisting them in
attempting to disperse the same, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

That is the law they broke.

Now what. Explain to us why they should be excused for breaking the law.

Go ahead.

 

They should have been tazed as well.

 

Don't forget CA PC 602 trespass. They were asked to leave and refused, making it necessary to use non lethal force to make them leave.

 

LOL give me a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing break.

 

Give yourself one. If they were camped out in your driveway refusing to let your cars out, what would you do? Pitch a tent next to theirs? They should have been tazed too just to get them moving.

 

I think pepper spray was the safest and most effective way to break the chain and get the law-breakers removed quickly. However from just a scientific curiosity I think it would have been interesting to see how tazing the end person in a linked chain would effect all members in that chain.

 

They are on campus they have every right to stand where they please. The criminal officers were rightfully suspended. Hopefully something worse happens to them.

 

Those officers have families to support. They are the good guys who are there to help you when a crime has been committed against you. They are there to catch the criminals. These worthless anarchists deserve what they got and the officers should be commended, not suspended.
