The analogy was put in place because Larry was strongly against these students for breaking the law. In post 96 he states there are "so many people in this country that feel the law is not to be obeyed". I simply brought in a law he more than likely has broken to put it into perspective. Would it be okay to pepper spray anyone that has broken the law? As the police officers did here?
If you don't think that the pepper spraying was excessive, then we have nothing to discuss.

So your thesis is that the cop simply walked up to them and sprayed them with NO orders to move, stand up, etc, etc? Really? Somehow I doubt that but if that is true, you have a point.
Wrong analogy. How about this one. Cop pulls you over, asks for DL and you refuse. Tell him to go fawk himself, you have no right, he is picking on you because you are black, etc, etc and he sprays you and gets you out of the car.
Not in this case, I don't. That is, unless there was no refusal to obey a legal order.
