UC Davis Pepper Spray - Such Assholes

[Townhallsavoy]

I'm sure you've heard about this horrendous act.  See the video:

"Sir if you don't move, we're going to have to use pepper spray."
"You're going to shoot me?"
"They're going to shoot him!"
"Don't shoot students!  Don't shoot students!  Don't shoot students!"

 

[Townhallsavoy]

Then when the cops actually get the pepper spray out, the chant changes.

"Don't shoot students!  Don't shoot students!"
"Everyone, uh, cover your nose."
"Cover your eyes!"
"Don't shoot children!  Don't shoot children! Don't shoot children!"

[Townhallsavoy]

And then when they get pepper sprayed...

"We give you a moment of peace!  You can take our friends and go!  And please do not return!" 

"You can go! You can go!  You can go!"

This is gold.

Yeah.  Did you see what I did with the OP?  Faked you all out.

I saw this a few weeks ago, and I just don't understand the outrage. They were somewhere they didn't have permission to be. The police told them they had to leave. They refused. They locked arms so they couldn't be forced to move otherwise. They created that situation, so they can deal with the consequences.

[Townhallsavoy]

They not only locked arms; they told the police they would "let them go" if they let their friends go.

I don't think police are much into negotiating like that unless hostages' lives are in danger.  Honestly, I thought the police were extremely patient and informative before resorting to using the pepper spray. 

They warned every single person sitting on the ground.  The guy specifically asked each person, "Do you understand that if you do not move we will use physical force?" 

And they still sat there?

Yeah.  Pepper in the eyes, bitches.
