Police at UC Davis Pepper Spray Non-Violent Students

by John P.

I’m neither for or against the “Occupy” movement, but I am definitely a supporter of the US Constitution which guarantees:

…the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances…

Yesterday, police at UC Davis demonstrated that they don’t value that particular edict established by the people when they turned a can of riot control pepper spray on a peaceful group of students sitting on the ground. The entire event was captured on video and in photos.

The man responsible for the attack on these citizens is UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike.

Iraqi Government to Execute 128 Men Because They’re Gay

April 2, 2009

According to an exiled member of the Iraqi Gay and Lesbian community, the Iraqi government (which is currently propped up by the US military) is about to begin a string of executions of 128 men who are guilty solely of the “crime” of homosexuality. The tragedy is that I haven’t seen or heard anything about [...]

Cops Tase Boy With Broken Back 19 Times

August 11, 2008

I’ve written several times about Taser abuse, but this one takes the cake. I mean seriously, this cannot be explained.

Tiananmen Square and the “Tank Man” Protester

June 25, 2007

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 18 years since the Tiananmen Square Massacre and the legendary “tank man”. But this month marks the anniversary, and given that enough time as passed that a new generation has been born and without hearing about it I thought I’d give a little reminder surrounding events of the [...]

Caught on Film – Police Misconduct and Brutality

June 1, 2007

The following compilation of videos are, in my opinion examples of police going way beyond the limitations imposed by the laws of the United States. [...]

Privacy Equals Freedom – Support the Freenet Project

May 15, 2007

Freedom. It’s nice, right? It ought to be… the freedom we enjoy was paid for with the blood of our forefathers, and is maintained by the blood of our siblings. And no freedom is more precious than that of speech. From it all other freedom flows. Unfortunately there are still many oppressive regimes that do [...]

Undercover Police Kill Innocent Homeowner

February 3, 2007

From the Florida Times-Union Last Saturday Police in Jacksonville, Florida were working under cover, selling drugs and busting users. When they went over to 81 year old Issac Singletary’s front yard and started up he tried to run them off his property, apparantly threatening them with his .38 revolver. Problem is, rather than the police [...]
