Barbarism At UC Davis

I was watching the news and saw this horrific scene at UC Davis. Police, in riot gear, pepper sprayed students who were peacefully protesting tuition hikes at the school. The cops showed no mercy as the video depicts a group of students sitting with arms locked being sprayed by the officer. And I'm not just talking about a one time deal. The officer continues to spray the same students over and over, until you see their faces turn orange. According to MSNBC, one woman was even treated for chemical burns at a local hospital. The same MSNBC article said UC Davis police told them that students had until 3:00 p.m. to leave and, when they didn't, police moved in. That's the poorest defense I've ever heard in my life. There is no excuse for this kind of barbaric behavior. UC Davis police and officials should be ashamed of themselves for what happened.

This is beyond ridiculous! I don't understand what gives police officers the right mind to do these things. I would like to know what that officer would feel like if someone sat him down and did the same thing. Enough is enough! If I was the police chief and saw this video, I would either not allow him to work on the force until he gets the proper training or fire him flat out, no questions asked. I've always thought that, unless officers are properly trained to use these weapons, they don't need to use them at all!
