Here's one (15 minutes) you missed, Mr. Borden.  I am sure that you simply overlooked it, right?

"When Occupy Davis protesters began to be arrested, students banded together, chanting the police to release the captives and for more students to come support. Later on, the protesters sat down in linked arms, entrapping the police along with the captive. After trying to negotiate, rather than stepping over the students, the police pepper sprayed the students point blank in the face. Many sources reports that there are around 10 protesters, that is not true. The police only chose to spray these front individuals sitting near the roads. There were countless more peaceful protesters surrounding them on all sides! So there were not only 10! This video was shot right before, during, and after the pepper spraying and forceful removal of the protesters. I stood in disbelief as I watched the violence. Skip to 4:05 to where the police talks to the student one more time before bringing out the canister of pepper spray."

We should be happy the protestors were not carrying guns, a common activity at Tea Party gatherings, huh?
