It was an interesting article. I've heard the Chancellor interviewed here on TV and radio a fair amount following the UC Davis debacle, and she comes across to me anyway as genuinely concerned about this, beyond just saying the right things. Seems like a decent enough soul in the middle of a

Hi, there is a lot of misinformation out there. She said that, 1) she gave the order to evict the students in tents, and 2), very clearly she said that even if the pepper spraying was considered to be appropriate behavior, it was wrong and never sanctioned by her. --- In

Although this is not addressed to me, I am going to respond. Peaceful protesters have been sitting down and linking arms time out of mind. If the police choose to arrest them, they usually just find a way of dragging them off, sometimes roughly, but without the kind of sickening violence

I might have more sympathy with your argument if the police in this situation had been in any danger at all. I don't think they were risking their lives, as you put it, or anything close to it. I think it was the students who were putting themselves in a potentially dangerous situation, given

This is another bit of misinformation that has leaked into this story, that the police were in danger because they were encircled by the protesters. What this tidbit leaves out is that the protesters encircling the police were sitting down, and the pepper spraying moron actually stepped over
