I was going to stay out of this one but decided to chime in LOL First the police were ordered by the president of the university not to do anything and thats why the cop spraying and his chief were put on administrative leave for investigation. Which leads to my point that to many not all but way to many Police have the attitude there in charge no matter what and some how are above the law. I see all the time cops speeding for no reason or asking for ID with no cause and they get real upset if you know your rights and refuse I'm getting off topic I guess. College kids sitting down refusing to move with a standing order not to do anything with that information the COP was wrong. These particular students were protesting the raising of there tuition's where dozens of administrators not teachers admin people are making 200k+ a year and with the recent economy student jobs are impossible to find. Does all this matter maybe not but it adds a little perspective to the situation. I knew when reading Don's post he was getting his protests confused with the occupy wall street crowd which these kids where not. I mean we have cops caring automatic weapons repelling out of helicopters all kinds of crazy stuff now I can't be the only person that see a problem with this. I remember when a cop would pull over and help if you broke down now they just blow by you. I was walking with my gram once we got caught in storm and a cop picked us up and took us home you will never see that today you can't even ask them for directions with out them looking at you like your insane. Ok now I'm way off topic LOL remember I didn't say all cops I said to many cops
