UC Davis Update

This video was posted by someone on my FB page, and it's nice to get the whole story. It shows that not only were the students blocking the walkway, but they had surrounded the police and would not allow them to leave. They were clearly antagonizing, and you can see the police giving 3 verbal warnings that the pathway blocking protesters would be sprayed, but still refusal to leave, among other things.

Excellent video. Worth the whole 15 min to see what really happened. IMO, the Police acted exactly as they should have.

Don't let the truth stop a good anti police rant.

What if I want to see the college kids surround the cops so they will get pepper sprayed? It's about time I saw some quality entertainment on the news, Youtube, Tosh.O, etc.

Peace,
Greg

What is it about higher education that makes people so damned stupid?

Watched the whole thing finally. Stupid buffering.

I kept looking for friends of mine, luckily I didn't spot any so I don't have to make any phone calls informing them of their stupidity.

Will this video help anything? No, it won't. They aren't interested in the truth. This will get almost zero coverage from CNN, MSNBC.... Fox will bring it up long enough for O'Rielley to have a talking points memo.

My whole family is law enforcement, and let me tell you something about cops. They HATE paperwork. I highly doubt these cops went out there with the mentality of "I'm gonna go bag me a hippy." Way to much paperwork.

Secondly, I'm willing to bet all those cops and a spouse and a kid at home, and even though they have guns, they were waaaaaaaaayyy out numbered. 20 rounds only gets you so far. Really think they wanted to start a fight with the mob?

Granted, the cops probably would have beat all their asses. These kids seemed like they were all raised in a bubble and never faced any real adversity and never had to solve any of their own problems.

Ranting a bit, I guess.

I'm just glad the cops are all but cleared on this. I cannot stand the abuse they have to take.
