Please - there are multiple videos from different people on-line, including a couple videos that are an hour long and show everything. Different points of view, that all show the police violence.

The only reason the police were caught in overt police brutality, and the police chief was caught lying about what happened, was due to citizen journalism. The videos do not lie.

I worked with police as professional partners for years. I have every respect for cops. Believe me, I'll side with a cop's side of the story until I see different. What happened at UC Davis was disgusting and illegal, and everyone from the cops to the police chief to the Chancellor should lose their jobs. This campus has a history of abusing the legal rights of it's students by inflicting violence upon them, during the tuition hike protests of 2008. Nothing has changed. They are still violent. And they trying to privatize this particular wonderful public college system.
