Pepper spray bandit
As it turns out, nonchalant pepper spraying UC Davis police officer has been photographed in many other peaceful incidents administering some justice.
Seattle Police officers deploy pepper spray into a crowd during an Occupy Seattle protest on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011 at Westlake Park in Seattle. Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying pepper spray into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people. AP

The UC Davis officer who pepper-sprayed the students is John A. Pike III, and his email is japikeiii@ucdavis.edu. (Remember, no threats.)
You can also contact the chancellor of UC Davis at: http://chancellor.ucdavis.edu/contact.php
Lieutenant Pike ought to be terminated and charged with assault. Chancellor Katehi ought to be forced to resign. Just sayin’.
Wow, this video is just crazy.
(Btw, I want to thank youthiswasted since s/he has been posting some terrific material.)
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said on Wednesday that the Internal Affairs Bureau will look into the decision of a high-ranking officer to use pepper spray on a number of female protesters at an Occupy Wall Street demonstration on Saturday.
The pepper spray episode occurred on East 12th Street, where police officers arrested some protesters and corralled others behind orange mesh netting. It was captured on video recordings made by several protesters from different vantage points.
The video, which has been posted on YouTube and the Web sites of numerous news organizations, shows a deputy inspector walking up to a group of women standing on the sidewalk behind the orange netting and shooting pepper spray at them. Then footage then shows the deputy inspector, who has been identified as Anthony Bologna, walking away.
Commissioner Kelly said he had seen video of the pepper spraying only on a television newscast, and questioned whether the snippet he saw offered enough context to evaluate what occurred.
Asked about the episode at a press briefing on Wednesday, Mr. Kelly did not offer an explanation for why Inspector Bologna selected the four women out of the larger crowd as a target.
The New York Times, “New York Police to Examine Pepper-Spray Incident.”
Why did it take until Wednesday for 1) the media to get Police Commissioner Kelly to comment on this episode, and 2) for Police Commissioner Kelly to comment on this episode, period?
For fuck’s sake.
