I know the occupy *location* stuff getting more and more intense, and become a hot potato toward authority.
However, is U.S. police department allowed to pepper-spray the protesters presented no danger to themselves or to others??

When students covered their eyes with their clothing, police forced open their mouths and pepper-sprayed down their throats. Several of these students were hospitalized. Others are seriously injured. One of them, forty-five minutes after being pepper-sprayed down his throat, was still coughing up blood.
This is horrible; this is the kind of footage you expect to see taken in a foreign country, where we just SMH at. To think this is happening presently in America.
While those occupiers need to go the **** home and sit down, this is police brutality.
The officer who sprayed the students was UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike

They are just doing their job
Listen to the police people
It's a constitutional right to be able to peacefully protest. That cop was not doing his job. He was abusing his "power." His job is to uphold the law, and it didn't look like any laws were being broken. UC Davis is a local school in Davis, CA (very close to Sacramento, where I live), so I have a lot of friends who go there. It's ridiculous.
Some police were also jabbing batons into the crowd which resulted in broken ribs and internal bleeding. Apparently someone even got pepper sprayed down the throat and was coughing up blood.
And the way that cop just sprayed them all when they weren't doing anything violent. What a ****ing bastard.
