So, the knock-kneed lard-ass in the top right hand corner is actually slim and trim? And the cop holding/spraying the juice is not at least 40 lbs over-weight?

Maybe you should have a look at this: UC DAVIS.

What are you carrying on about now?

Google "Lt. John Pike" and stop acting so foolishly.

Nah, they need to be hit by a truck during a traffic stop and die in agony. Jail and unemployment is too good for those dirtbags, though I suppose it's an acceptable substitute for Karmic justice.

Sadly, it was real, much as I wish it was not. There were multiple videos and enough witnesses to make it unlikely that it was a fabrication.

The still photo looked a little fake to me but the film clip was clearly not faked. It baffles me why they chose to pepper spray the protesters. They then looked to be unneccessarily rough in arresting them and dragging them away.

I don't understand why they had to be arrested anyway.

Too bad the president of UC Davis didn't read your post before she publicly apologized for the actions of the police.

Because they're pigs who are angry that they got rejected from McDonald's school of burger-flipping, so instead they have to deal with mouthy kids all day. University rent-a-cops aren't the most impressive of people.

Westboro Baptist Church Targeted For Pepper Spray - YouTube

Yeah, I guess this is photoshopped, too. Only when you pepper spray Westboro Baptist protesters you get charged with 16 counts of misdemeanor assault and one felony. But you're also not the law and that makes all the difference, I guess.

The driver also was at a distance, over the roof of his moving truck (about 8-10 seconds in) hardly the dousing the passive students got.

Yep, students sitting on the ground get sprayed in the face and the officer is put on adminstrative leave with pay; homophobic Baptists protesting at a Marine's funeral get sprayed at a distance and there's a felony assault charge.

Nice knee-jerk, layback. Include me in the dimwit crowd, along with the rest of the rational universe.

This buffoon needs to go down hard - and his supervisor - and the On-Scene Commander.

I love the coverage of this. It is straight out of 1984. You have two types of news: 1. Protesters = bad 2. Police = bad.

You have no in depth coverage of why the protesters are protesting. You have no in depth coverage about why the police are trying to remove them.

In both cases total fluff. Real information is a dangerous item that should be kept from general public. With real information, the citizens of the country might make demands of the government that would upset the lobbyists.

She was also duped by that fake photo? What a dimwit.

Asked you not to block the way and you didn't comply. Just like roaches, you spray them and sweep them away.

Nobody would say you don't have the right to protest. Just don't disrupt someone else. When I had to take a girl to the abortion clinic and someone decided to lay down in front of the door, I went back to the car, got her running shoes with spikes and played chicken. They blinked. If they had kept their protest to holding signs and not block me, I support their right to do it. Block me and I have a different issue. Wish I could have hosed these kids down with something nastier than pepper spray.
