From the rightscoopp: Elli Pearson, one of the Occupy protesters who was pepper-sprayed by police at UC-Davis, admitted to “Democracy Now!” that the protesters locked arms and sat down to surround the police, who were actually trying to leave the campus. The protesters then told the police that if they wanted to leave, they’d have to clear a path through the protesters.
Well we were protesting together and the riot cops came at us and we linked arms and sat down peacefully to protest their presence on our campus. And then at one point they were – we had encircled them and they were trying to leave and they were trying to clear a path. And so we sat down, linked arms and said that if they wanted to clear the path they would have to go through us. But we were on the ground, you know, heads down and all I could see was people telling me to cover my head, protect myself and put my head down. And the next thing I know we were pepper-sprayed.

So, the U.C. Davis cops are being thrown under the bus because of why? The protesters surrounded the police, threatened the cops and the cops shoot some tear gas to get of the bad situation.
Nope, don't feel sad for these Occupiers at all. They asked to be tear gassed and they got it. And now they are crying and meanwhile the cops who are part of the 99% are suspended and maybe missing a paycheck because of these thugs.
Shame. Shame. Shame on the protesters.
