UC Davis Students Pepper Sprayed

It wasn't the protest that got them sprayed with pepper spray.

I don't think anybody has denied this

It was their choice of locations.

Again, I think everybody understands this

It was their violation of rules/laws and their refusal to move.

Yes...

If it had been allowed to continue tomorrow would have been bigger and harder to control.

So what? Only a total idiot acts on reasoning like this. Tomorrow your kid might mouth back, better spank him today. Tomorrow Iran might have an a-bomb, better nuke them first now. A police response based on this deserves scorn, ridicule, and discipline. And a change of administrations.

The escalation may not have happened during that particular protest or from those particular people, but the fact that it would not have stayed with those particular people and only during that particular time is what caused the hard response.

It's called nipping it in the bud, I'm sure you have heard of it, and probably used the same philosophy it in your own life from time to time.

Based on what you said, it's called an over reaction based upon nebulous 'gosh, maybe they might be worse sometime, lets hit em hard now while there are only a few'.
