Barack Obama refuses to say a word against it.

In the latest incident in what’s become a nationwide streak of policy brutality against protesters in the Occupy Movement, police at UC Davis pepper sprayed a line of protesters who were doing nothing but sitting peacefully in a line on a sidewalk. A police officer walked back and forth, spraying the protesters until their faces were orange with the chemical weapon. Officers forced open protesters’ mouths to put the spray down their throats, causing one student to cough up blood for at least an hour.

As people watching the protest started chanting “Shame on you,” the police officer then pointed his canister of pepper spray at the crowd, to warn them to stop chanting.

Not once during this protest were the police under any threat of physical violence.

Barack Obama refuses to even acknowledge the incident, and other pepper spray attacks against peaceful protesters.
