UC Davis officials sued over pepper spraying
Three months after being pepper sprayed or allegedly roughed up by UC Davis campus police during an Occupy demonstration, 19 students and alumni Wednesday filed a federal lawsuit claiming that their free speech and assembly rights were violated in the controversial incident.
The suit names Chancellor Linda Katehi as a defendant, along with other campus administrators and police officers. It details allegations against campus police Lt. John Pike, who the suit says sprayed the seated or crouching protesters at close range, causing pain to their eyes and faces.
The students, who contend the university did not properly screen and train campus police, are seeking financial damages and policy changes in how the UC system handles protests.
if you hem the police in and start behaving like a gang of thugs acting like cocky shits and taunting them, obviously...
>literally encircle police who were trying to leave the campus >laugh everytime you were warned that failure to leave...
The sad thing is, many of the protestors probably thought the police were “Nazis” for doing this, but actual Nazis...
GOOD. I was worried that these assholes would get away with this. Best to the students.
say this is where i live! -__-
hmm. my school. ugh. idk how i feel about this…
I really want them to be made into an example. If the fault is that they weren’t properly trained then shouldn’t whoever...
I’ll have to watch how this goes.
