UC Davis 'Pepper Spray Incident' report released.

Some key bits leap out.

It was perfectly legal to have the tents up; the relevent laws only seem to apply to permenant residences. There is a school policy against tents, but that's not an issue for police to handle.

The phrases 'not clear' and 'under the impression' pop up a little too often for me to comfortable. Also 'Thought they were clear'.

The pepper spray was illegal for police in California. Mk-9 is apparently higher capacity, higher pressure, and designed for getting crowds, not individual. No one in California, apparently, has received proper training for the Mk-9(I would guess cause it's illegal). They are authorized the Mk-4, more designed for single use, and apparently the training for proper use is different.

And no clear idea who bought this Mk-9 illegally.

So.. Crapton of things were done wrong by the university and police, all laid out in it.

A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood
