[Vision2020] Tell Us, Mr. Borden . . .

[Jay Borden]

So… are you now saying there is “more to the story?”  

 

Your video is a smaller sub-set of the one that I posted chronicling the events prior.

 

Your video starts after the crowd of protestors has already followed and surrounded the police.   (I believe the opener on your video is where the students are shouting “fuck the police” while they have them surrounded… which is about 2/3’s of the way (give or take) in the video link that I posted.

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?

	And just what is the "MORE TO THE STORY" that justifies pepper spraying students . . . sitting cross-legged on the ground . . . covering their faces?
