Popcorn anyone?

The moral of the story is,when the Police give you a lawful order to move or disperse-just do it.You can always hire a lawyer and take the cops to court if you think your civil rights were somehow violated.

UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi described the video images as "chilling"

Yeah a real holocaust moment. sheesh

[buccaneer81]

I rather see them taking a boot or two...the bruises will make them remember longer.

[macquire]

Standard procedure. What would they rather have? Some officer slashed with a razor by one of these slobs? Anybody thinking the officers were out of line on this needs to go and visit the family of the last two officers that were slashed by so called “peaceful” protesters.

[rockrr]

Just a guess but I’m betting they smelled better afterwards than before...;-)

If it were a bunch of conservatives blocking an abortion clinic, would it be “chilling”?

[MrEdd]

If they weren’t leaving, then they were defiant, not passive.

You can stay in one place and still be an agressor if you are not supposed to be there.

[Volunteer]

"Chilling"?

Give me a break. They used Pepper Spray. If they had used bullets, you might have a point Chancellor.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Chancellor Linda Katehi is a pathetic moron. What is going on in Cairo right now is “chilling”. What happened at the Davis Communist Indoctrination Center was just a bunch of goofy, braindead morons getting sprayed with harmless pepper spray. Lighten up Linda.

[raccoonradio]

Thought they were spraying disinfectant. Don’t Lysol me, bro!

[Tzimisce]

Even though this is radical lib vs radical lib, people like us are still going to be the ones blamed.....

[icwhatudo]

The only thing chilling about the video was how the crowd forced the police to make a slow retreat. The crowd started surrounding the police and the police had to slowly back up to make sure no one got separated. Only after the crowd told them they “would not do anything to them” as long as they lowered their weapons and left did the police finally escape.
It was a sad moment that reminded me of how the police abandoned LA during the riots. Too bad there were no Korean shop owners this time.

Next time, Taser practice.

I would have used a fire hose.

[ArmstedFragg]

It’s the old lock arms and hope they spray us routine. Tree huggers did the same thing in Eureka a decade ago. The deputies used OC applied by Q-tip. If memory serves, the huggers did well in court.

It’s now a standard tactic to provide a sound track intended to influence those who watch the tape. Sounds like the demonstrators had their tactics all prepared.

[Lazamataz]

The use of the pepper spray as shown on the video is chilling to us all

It's not chilling, it's hottening.

[tanuki]

Would you like a little pepper on your protester?

[jmcenanly]

I have heard people on other sites calling the police 'Stormtroopers' for using these tactics. Historically, it was the Storm troopers (Stoßtruppen in German)in the Weimar Republic who did things like blocking entrances to businesses and terrorizing citizens.
However, if they are referring to those other storm troopers, at that range they'd probably miss.
