So what do you call it when you inflict pain on other people if not violence? And if you inflict pain on people sitting peaceably who pose no harm to anyone, what is it if not torture?

CR, don't you have any respect for property rights?
They were students attending a public university and sitting down in public. I'm betting none were arrested for trespassing.

How childish do you have to be to refuse to decamp and then whine about being pepper sprayed? All they had to do was walk away. There's no free speech at stake, it is simply them making the police force them out of the area in the belief that they are now martyrs. It's sick.
Where these people camping? No, they were sitting on the ground with no tents around. Anyone could walk by or over them.

Why do so many cops seem to be the most chicken cowards in the world?

The group was informed in writing this morning that the encampment violated regulations designed to protect the health and safety of students, staff and faculty.
Ah, the ole government claim that they're only beating you for your own good.
