UC Davis students pepper sprayed while sitting on the ground

UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi thinks this is the appropriate response to a peaceful sit-in.

UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza said officers used force out of concern for their own safety after they were surrounded by students.

Do those kids look like they were a "threat"?  More at AmericaBlog.
