According to the report on the incident, that is exactly what happened. They were blocking the pathway.What rights of yours were stolen?
She was speaking as if she were a student there. Every other student that had a class in the building these protestors were blocking had THEIR rights violated and had every right to expect the campus police to remove the protestors for free access to the building.
From what I saw, they could have walked around them. They seemd to be a one rostrum, or fountain or somesuch. There would be many ways to get to class.
Universities are hot beds of protest - long may they be so..
Your country was founded on one huge fucking protest. You think the British should have done the equivalent to the framers of your constitution and your founding fathers (well, the 18th century equivalent, which would have involved more harsh measures than pepper spray)
I agree the protesters do not have the right to stop others going about their lawful business (if this is indeed what did happen), but protesting in itself is not a bad thing...
If I were a student at UC Davis, my right to have a campus look like an actual campus without it looking like the underpass in SE DC; my right to have free access to campus buildings at a university I was paying dearly to attend. If I were a professor, my right to the same as the first and my right to go to my office, my lab, and my place of work. If I were an employee there, my right to go to my work and make money that day.What rights of yours were stolen?
I've seen the pics. Doesn't seem too hard to walk around them to get to class....

Good observation. And Gandhi & Martin Luther King inconvenienced a few back in their times too. I don't think i would have liked to see Gandhi or Martin Luther King get pepper sprayed in the face.

They were also camping overnight on the campus.
They were told well in advance that they had to stop and that they were breaking campus law.
They did not. So, they got pepper spray.
And, no more camping and no more blocking pathways for the thousands of others at that campus.

You sure about that? Do you think it would have been right for your jack-booters to pepper spray them in the face too? After all,they inconvenienced some back in their times too.

As opposed to them being shot, ya.
Yes, I am sure. I can read, too.Most of us outgrew picture books and learned to read.Good observation. And Gandhi & Martin Luther King inconvenienced a few back in their times too. I don't think i would have liked to see Gandhi or Martin Luther King get pepper sprayed in the face.

And ...
STILL not a scintilla of any evidence of anyone having pepper (or paper) spray shoved down their throat.
Lets be decent people. Lets not meet peaceful protests with ignorance & brutality. These Police Officers wronged these Citizens and they should be held accountible. Nothing less will suffice.

The use of pepper spray under the circumstances was perfectly a-ok.
Fuck the shitters.
Move along, tykes.
Will you feel the same way when a Tea Partier is wronged this way?

There would be no need to use force on a Tea Partier to compel a Tea Partier to comply with the law.

yep
play stupid games
win stupid prizes
Well now you're on record. No Tea Partier should count on you for support when the jack-booters abuse them.
Our Police are becoming increasingly above the law. They have been given too much power. The average Citizen has less rights than the Police do. But how did that happen? I suspect 911 had a lot to do with it. Your word against a Police Officer's word is almost worthless these days. The Police must always be watched and kept honest. So keep your video equipment handy because you never know when you'll need it.
