'There was no way out of that circle,' Ms Spicuzza said. 'They were cutting the officers off from their support. It's a very volatile situation.' The tents went up on Thursday, and protesters were apparently warned on Friday morning that they had until 3 pm to take them down or they would be removed. On Friday, Katehi released a statement saying the police had no option. 'Following our requests, several of the group chose to dismantle their tents this afternoon and we are grateful for their actions. However a number of protesters refused our warning, offering us no option but to ask the police to assist in their removal. 'We are saddened to report that during this activity, 10 protestors were arrested and pepper spray was used. We will be reviewing the details of the incident,' she told the New York Daily News. The university lacked the resources to keep the protest site from becoming a public health hazard. she said Read more: UC Davis pepper spray video: Chancellor Linda Katehi refuses to quit after police attack | Mail Online They were asked, they were warned and some complied others left the authorities no choice but to use force. Not like they surprised them with the pepper spray. It's a no win for the police. If they don't use the spray then they risk a melee trying to break up an illegal protest. Sorry, don't demonize the police when ample warnings were given and ample opportunity to disburse peacefully.

I think they want to get pepper sprayed. Look at all the cameras there to capture this even though the cops warned them over and over again. Now they can scream about the cops. They are trying to take the blame off themself and get it directed toward the cops. Its also funny how they seem to always leave out the cops warning them in these clips posted.
