At UC Davis, police pepper spray peaceful students like they're spraying noxious weeds

from angry black lady at balloon juice via atrios...

This is what non-violent resistance in the face of egregious police brutality looks like.

be sure to stick with the video until the end...

UC Davis Chancellor’s office (530) 752-2065

UC Davis police (530) 752-1727

The officer who pulled out the pepper spray was Lieutenant John Pike. 530-752-3989 japikeiii@ucdavis.edu

if the ptb think that this kind of over-the-top police brutality is going to make the occupy movement go away, they're got another think coming... it's horrendous, truly abominable behavior...
