You've fallen for the oldest trick in the anarchists’ playbook. Under cover of the “peaceful” protesters (passive-aggressive is a more apt description), they deliberately escalate until they provoke a police response. Then they cry “police state!” to gain the sympathies of the “bourgeoisie” (that would be you and me). They use the same ploy time and time again, because it works. It helps that they have a massive propaganda arm (the MSM).

As the protesters might say: you need to have your consciousness raised.

Exactly. Read the following context for this spraying:

UC Davis Police officers in riot gear warned “Occupy UC Davis” demonstrators to pack up their tents and leave the field located between the Memorial Union and Shields Library at about 3:00 p.m., and then moved in to take down the protesters’ tents a half hour later.

University officials had warned students several times since Thursday that camping would not be allowed on the quad.

A growing crowd filled the field as officers hauled away tents and a number of protesters linked arms and sat down on the path in the middle of the field, defying orders to leave. Shortly before 4:00 p.m., an officer used a can of pepper spray to coat the sitting demonstrators in the chemical dispersant before officers began taking students into custody one by one.

Poor OP forgot about finding out the context. The piece these commie losers don't want him to consider.

Thanks for the clarifying posts to those that fall victim to this manipulation.
