I feel an op-ed coming on. Whether or not you agree with these protests on the University campuses, which are a hybrid of the Occupy Wallstreet movement and protests against tuition increases, there’s something innately wrong with our society if we think it’s OK for police to attack students who are peacefully protesting.

I don’t like calling cops pigs.

This asshole, Lieutenant John Pike of the UC Davis Police Department, is a pig.

This is video of him pepper spraying a group of peaceful protesters at Occupy UC Davis yesterday, without regard and in as inhumane a way as possible.

They are sitting there, en masse.

Along he comes, spraying an orange-tinted substance onto the lot of them, without provocation, and apparently with the approval of the rest of his officers, who do absolutely nothing to stop this fucking pig.

Lieutenant John Pike is a fucking pig.

A fucking asshole pig.

And if you think the Occupy movement is going anywhere — if you think it’s gone dormant, and that it’ll just disappear, remember what this fucking pig did.

Because we will.
