UC Davis Students Pepper Sprayed

I am pretty sure those are UC Davis cops.

What gave me the impression it's excessive is a couple of things:

You can see the cop move a kids arm for the sole purpose of getting a better blast in the face. I don't think that was necessary.
There was a very large crowd on their feet, many taping the whole thing. If it were going to escalate and get violent, those very kids on their feet would be, in my opinion, the ones to get nuts. They all stood around upset by the excessive spraying and did not riot or attack a cop.

I don't think the kids are 100% right. I never said that. I only think that spray up close and in the face like that was too much.

If these were Tea Party kids, would you ('you' as in anyone) have any different opinion?

These kids ironically are protesting raises in tuitions. They are not OWS protests. No one is looking for a handout. What's ironic is that the unions, tenure and other left leaning policies are the very thing that raises tuitions and is causing protests. I wonder how many of those kids are lefties and don't realize this?
