The video shows a police force pepper spraying college students as if they were roaches while they peacefully protesting at UC Davis. Since when have police had the authority to spray chemical agents on peaceful college students during a demonstration? The officers in this video embarrassed themselves, their university and our nation. We were once seen as a nation that honored and protected civil rights. We were a worldwide symbol of justice. The police officers shown pepper spraying college youth and everyone that gave them the authorization must be held accountable. I understand police are in a difficult position but this is insanity and must be stopped! Thank God we don't have these clowns as our police force in NYC.
