Boingboing's all over the UC Davis story.
Original story, which links to an
open letter from Asst Prof Nathan Brown calling for Chancellor Linda Katehi's resignation (she's the one who called the police in to break up the protest)
Protesters confront Katehi; she hides in her press conference room for hours rather than face them.
Interview with one of the victims; disgustingly, he says that they were friendly with Lt. Pike earlier in the evening, offering him food and coffee. There's a Right of Hospitality reference here somewhere.
Katehi's official statement. It is, as you might expect, less than satisfying.
I heard the President of the UC System is going to call a meeting of all the chancellors and, presumably, tell them that calling in police to pepper-spray nonviolent protesters in the face at close range is inappropriate.
