New Video Proof of Media Lies About UC Davis Protests

[mandym]

Meanwhile, campus police are finally beginning to speak out. UC Berkeley police, who responded to threatening protesters on that campus with batons, said that officers were injured by chairs and bricks thrown by demonstrators.............

.......An English professor by the name of Nathan Brown, who teaches Marxist theory, has been behind some of the protests. He is paid about $64,000 a year by the university, does not have tenure, and thinks the administration doesn’t have the will to fire him. He wrote an open letter calling on Katehi to go and wants the UC Davis police thrown off campus, saying that “student security services” can deal with most crime on campus.

One of his scheduled classes is “The Real Movement of History: Left Communism and the Communization Current,” featuring the Communist Manifesto and other Marxist writings. He says students attending his classes participate in protests against budget cuts to state funding of education.

On Monday, as radicals attempted to close down the campus and occupy various university buildings, Brown was listed on a poster as teaching a workshop to protesters on “Three Theories of Power: Marx, Fanon, Foucault.” Other workshops were on prisoners’ rights, yoga, meditation, anarchist anthropology, and the dangers of corporations.

I wonder how much of the water that's being carried by those here who are sympathetic to the protesters will be spilled after watching this.

As you can see the officers were not kept from leaving. The officer actually stepped over the people setting to spray them in the face. They were ordered not to engage the people and they did any way. It was most likely some power hungry authority, officers who are ex-military taking the lead in this. They used excessive force. Also it is clear the video was edited several times to try and justify the excessive force. They had no reason to disperse the crowd. They were there only to remove tents which they could have done. It was excessive force. If they had been there to arrest the protestors it would be different, but that is not why they were there and this was excessive force and not justified.

None the one's who hate Military people will continue their foolish diatribe.

Thanks for posting this; one has to wonder why it took so long to get out.

As for Arbo's question: brain-washing takes a while to overcome, especially when it's self-induced.

You really should make peace with the cause of your bitterness toward the military.
