With the "Pepper Spraying Cop" having recently elevated itself to a legitimate meme i thought this might have been relative online discussion worth talking about. Some in chat have been asking what actually happened to Officer Pike, the policeman responsible for spraying the students at Davis, University of California.

Not sure what else to add really, this is all really shocking information, you can read it for yourself right there. Regardless of whether OWS is right or wrong (and less of an effort to necrobump an already closed topic here by talking about OWS issues), how are other people finding following the police crack down on protests?
Police purposefully targeting, arresting, attacking and removing journalists from the scene of protests prior and during the removal of protesters is mighty questionable activity.

Fox News fobs off pepper sprey as a "food product" (and we all know FN's stance on the protesters), whilst one of the creators of pepper spray, Kamran Loghman, defines it as a "Weapons grade chemical agent" in his interview with the New York Times.
