University police tore down tents at UC Davis yesterday afternoon, arresting 8 students in the process, Xeni Jardin of Boing Boing reports. At one point, to clear a path to reach students that they had already arrested, they pepper-sprayed a line of seated, quiet protesters. This video, which shows the pepper-spraying, is going viral. This comment, from venture capitalist Chris Sacca, sums up what lots of people who watch it are thinking: Seriously. Right now. Stop what you are doing, watch this video, and reflect on what it means to be American.

I agree these kids are marxists, morons, fools, idiots, etc. But we should not give them PR victories like the cops did.

The cops were under orders from bloomie. I’ve spoken with a few NYPD’s who would have loved to clear that park out sooner.

However, they were under orders NOT to.....until the time came to do so.

And they did a damn good job. Many NY’ers went up and thanked them for a job well done.

"As far as I am concerned, the kids who pay tuition at the school should tell the cops to F off and get off the property."

"So the kids own the campus? That would be their dream. Also, how many of them are even students or pay tuition, for that matter."

Further, how many paying for their expensive UC education want their campus to turn into Woodstock or a protestard zone?

It doesn’t matter what the TP does or doesn’t do, incidents like this give the Dems the excuse to react similarly against the TP.
