University of California Police Brutality Video(OT)
 

Students at my school were protesting the recent finding that the University of California system has hidden 227 million dollars to divide amongst their regents instead of use FOR OUR TEACHERS that are underpaid and are facing outrageously large class sizes. The video was shot on the evening of Monday, April 19th, after the chancellor called the police and demanded that protestors be forcefully removed from the school's(that the students pay for) lawn. Watch for yourself...

i normally wouldnt post something like this but the police being coerced into commiting brutality on students(who at the same time, happen to be customers of BOTH of the opressing parties) so that the regents of the university of california can keep taxpayer money that is supposed to be going to the schools. One government agency commiting brutality to cover up the blatent fraud of another agency is inexcusable.

The reaction the people are having on that website is rediculous. It's not like the police are beating the demonstrators or whatever they are. The people are sitting down, locking their arms together, which seems like they're resisting arrest. Hrm...As far as I can tell, the cops are maybe holding down the jugular to restrict blood to the brain and cause fainting. It's not exactly a safe method stop the students from resisting, but I don't think all "YOU'RE HURTING HIM" yelling was necessary, as I doubt they were hurting them. Also, the students yelling "HOLD ON TO HIM" were just making it worse. If they let the person go, it'd be over.

Where was the brutality? No billy clubs, no mace, no tasers. The police could not have done their job any more gently.

The students have a right to protest. Maybe the order to arrest the protetors was wrong. But the police did their job here.
