Kills the Jews Suing the cops…
The University of California, Davis is facing a federal lawsuit filed by students who were pepper-sprayed during a campus crackdown on Occupy protests last fall.
Nineteen students and alumni represented by the American Civil Liberties Union filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in Sacramento on Wednesday.
The lawsuit is the latest fallout from the Nov. 18 incident, when campus police doused pepper-spray on sitting protesters who had set up an Occupy camp.
WTF? FEDERAL lawsuit? How does this even work? Also they were breaking the law, they were blocking public space without a permit, and against the request of the law. They got warned, then hosed with OC, then arrested.
Of course with the Kill the Jews movement, like all “Progressives”, the law and the rules don’t apply to them. Hopefully this lawsuit is as spurious as it sounds.
I must respectfully disagree, Weer’d. They were not a threat to the PoPo, and so excessive force is in no way justified. If the cops didn’t send enough cops to carry them away, that’s too bad. You don’t just unleash the water cannon/guard dogs/pepper spray because it’s more convenient.
