<p>Police</a> pepper spraying and arresting students at UC Davis - YouTube</p>
<p>California</a> university to investigate police use of pepper spray - CNN.com</p>
<p>Thats a dumb reason not to attend UCD
If I get into UCD I won’t be protesting anyways.</p>
<p>forreal. like our voices really make a different, besides, UC Davis is giving me life, BLUE & GOLD FTW!</p>
<p>You could say the same thing about Cal. Or about just living in the Bay Area in general.</p>
<p>I was at the protest. Did it make me think twice about being an Aggie? Nope, not in the least.</p>
<p>UC Davis is better off without you if you’re honestly ignorant enough to believe that’s a reason not to come here.</p>
<p>That’s a stupid reason to discount the school, and the UC system in general because they are all essentially run by the same police department. Think of the 1960s where large scale protests were the norm. Protests, like the ones at Davis are peanuts…wait until the National Guard is ushered in.</p>
<p>That’s a stupid reason for discouraging students to not transfer to UC Davis. For people wanting to major in Animal Science, UC Davis has the second best animal science program next to Cornell. That’s the reason why my sister went there. I already re-applied to go there because despite what recently happened, I still want to go there.</p>
<p>ok honestly, it’s the student’s fault that they got pepper sprayed. it’s not police brutality or anything like that. the students filming it made it seem like the police were at fault but they were given MANY warnings and were acting stupid.</p>

<p>man… idiots</p>
<p>before i clicked thread, I expected something really controversial. instead, I get a link of a bunch of hippies getting pepper sprayed by a cop lmao</p>
<p>omg TALL, i totally agree.</p>
<p>have people seen the “my fees are hella high video”, dude was speaking the truth, in the past when people do stuff like that it ends - not in favor of the protesters, and violence is included. The students were already told to get the heck outta dodge, but they felt that the rule of law would prevail for them, people must truly feel that we are “totally free” in America, it all traces back to what I learned about the fundamentals in political science regarding democracy - in order for a country to have democracy, the citizens must give up certain individual liberties in order to have security protection.</p>
<p>those students are lucky those policemen didn’t pull out their batons…poor kids :(</p>
<p>anyways, ■■■■■ @ thread backfire on OP, i don’t believe they are coming back to this thread.</p>
<p>I don’t know man, pretty good move by the protesters to get beaten up like that. You can say what you want but this picture of the cop spraying at these kids is pretty powerful. I mean the protesters utilised this picture to show police brutality in face of passive resistance. That should at least concern any humanist and Christian around here. At least, it got you guys riled up.</p>
<p>one word, civil rights era.</p>
<p>ooooh pepper spray, oooooh such an animal thing to do. </p>
<p>no one is condoning the acts, just saying it was inevitable for disobeying orders. cops say move, you move. the police cannot let the citizens control them or there would be no order.</p>
<p>yeah the violent act counts and it came across as the message. people see the images and think to themselves why? The images capture the media hegemony. I mean there were memes and the media streamed the images. Who cares why they are protesting? who cares about the police having their perspective on truth? the image spoke their truth and I guess a lot of people were outraged and felt sympathy because looking from the images, they were “turning the other cheek”.</p>

<p>No, it was not the students’ fault they got pepper-sprayed. Go read more into the incident. The police were NOT supposed to do anything to the protesters. They were only supposed to remove encampment and LEAVE the protesters ALONE.
