That is not a road. It is a walking path as far as I can tell. The cop car takes up over half of the road.

When a lot of people are protesting it is going to block some people. So what.

If they people were attacking someone. Or damaging someones property. They might have a cause. But sitting there with locked arms is a peaceful protest.

Most cops I've encountered are scumbag liars.

Also just because a cop car is there doesn't mean it is a public road. I've seen cop cars in the grass before. It wasn't a road.

The kids sat down in the road to block the police from doing their job, they were told what the consequences would be if they didn't move, they were even given time to prepare themselves, before they were sprayed. Pepper spray causes temporary discomfort and is quite effective at breaking down passive resistance to lawful orders. This might as well have been a text book example of how to apply minimal force to remove obstructors.

-btw I am amused by all the media reports that the police were 'caught' doing this, considering how every one there was recording the event.

The constitution trumps any and all laws to the contrary. They were peacefully protesting. On a walkway paid for with tax dollars.

If you watch the video the police do not go after anyone that isn't blocking their egress. The Constitution doesn't give you the right to obstruct anyone..something these punks learned the hard way.

Not true. They sprayed several people sitting in the grass.

These were peaceful protesters not harming anyone. Look at all the open area. They weren't blocking anything.

Show me the road they were blocking.

Not true. They sprayed several people sitting in the grass.

Those people sitting on the grass who were sprayed had locked arms with the people sitting in the road. They were sprayed so the officers could safely remove the obstructive protesters from the road and allow their patrol car to leave.

Any objective observer can see the police were not spraying people indiscriminately, in fact in a number of instances they let sprayed protesters alone once they were no longer in their way.

Furthermore, by announcing well ahead of time that they were going to employ pepper spray, to the point of even getting a go ahead from one of the protest leaders, anyone who suffered the inhalation of spray did so of their own volition.

Stone, you do realize the purpose of the 'sit down' was to prevent the police from leaving don't you?

Show me where it is against the law to lock arms. Show me where it is against the law to sit on a sidewalk.

If ten people were standing and talking on the sidewalk. They would be blocking traffic. Then they could be pepper sprayed according to you right?

...with the people sitting in the road.

They were not sitting on a "road"; they were sitting on one of the walkways that leads to Sproul Plaza.

The nearest "road" is Bancroft Way about 2-300 yards south.

Right. sorry. It's UC Davis.

They were on the one side of Mrack Hall that that has a double walkway. ON the other side of Mrack there is a circle but they were not at the circle which is a green surrounded by a very wide - four lanes - street and also buildings - Mrack and I believe the law library. If you look at the video when the Chancellor leaves her office, she is walking on the same walkway her car as the walkway extends to the parking lot on the side of the building.

Corporations can and do spend big money on lobbyists to get the ear of politicians. They also have money to buy media space to promote their agenda with the peeps, and money to fund think tanks such as The Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, Family Research Council - etc. to refine their message. We call that free speech.

The peeps have their bodies which they've been willing to put on the line in the form of demonstrations for the purpose of getting the ear of politicians, the media, and regular folks. This is also free speech.

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm going to have to side with the house liberals on this one.

If we want free speech they have to have it too. They weren't violent. They were sitting peacefully in this one instance.

If they can get pepper sprayed. Then using Thunderbirds logic then you can also spray people who stop walking on a sidewalk. You can spray people leaving or going to a concert or a fair. It wasn't right what the pigs did.

In it's new contemporary form, 'Free speech' only has value if it is followed with a bribe or a reciprocal action of some sort for the purpose of doing business. It has become just another traded commodity, like most of our other 'rights' guaranteed by the constitution.

I'm sorry to hear about your g-daughter Boris, you have my heartfelt sympathy. I have 4 g-children of my own and could not imagine my grief if we were to lose one.

You two shameless SKANKS never seem to amaze me with your ignorance, your stupidity, your cold hearted insensitivity, I would have thought by now the two of you could not stoop any lower, I was wrong.

This man's g-child, if guilty of anything, like all of us, her offences during her lifetime will carry their own punishment and it will be God Himself who passes judgement upon her, not two faceless internet whores with an axe to grind. The two of you really should worry more about the heaps of hot coals that will be poured down upon you for this attack you waged upon this mans dead grandaughter, and his grieving heart. JMHO!

Free speech rights are for human beings. A corporation is a entity brought into being by contract, not birth.

Although corporations were not mentioned once in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, Thomas Jefferson famously noted that representative government’s purpose was “to curb the excesses of the monied interests.” Had the Founders realized how powerful corporations would become, likely they would have created checks on their power.

Post-Revolution America developed largely along the ideals of Jefferson’s yeoman farmer, with American industrialism lagging behind its European counterparts. Corporations remained small institutions, chartered at the state level for specific purposes, such as banking or seafaring. Corporations could only exist for a limited time, could not make any political contributions, and could not own stock in other companies. Their owners were responsible for criminal acts committed by the corporation and the doctrine of limited liability (shielding investors from responsibility for harm and loss caused by the corporation) did not yet exist. Often corporate charters went to the wealthy or well-connected. But these small corporations did move America into the industrial era, encouraging entrepeneurism on a grander scale. Governments kept a close watch on how these corporations were being run, regularly revoking charters if corporations were not serving the public interest. For example, in 1832, President Andrew Jackson refused to extend the charter of the Second Bank of the United States and the State of Pennsylvania revoked 10 banks’ charters.

Clearly the founding fathers had no intention of conferring personhood on corporations.
