UC Davis pepper-spray officer awarded $38,000 - SFGate

okay... he got 38 k..

but this..

Earlier this year, UC Davis settled a federal lawsuit by paying $1 million to three dozen protesters who were pepper-sprayed.

Thats about 28k per person if my math is right..


So this nazi got 38k for being rightfully ridiculed for what he did, but the victims got 10k less? Is this justice?
 
Depends who you ask.

Godwinned the first post. Well done!

The protesters settled a lawsuit, the police officer received workman's comp based on the law. Two entirely different things. Also dismissing prolonged and continuous harassment as being "rightfully ridiculed" is pretty vile.
 
He should have been prosecuted for official oppression and assault.

Go hunting for the video that actually tells the whole story of what happened, including blocking the officers and preventing them from leaving the park, taunts of a personal nature and the demostrators being warned multiple times to cease and desist.

Then you have an over view of what really happened.
 
What does $28K actually do for someone that got pepper sprayed?

Was this a game show or something? A mini-lottery?

Pepper spray me, too, please.

No - it's not justice because, in the end, he did nothing extremely wrong - and everyone ganged up on him like he was the worst person on the face of the earth. He quit, and people hunted him down and harassed him.

At what point is anything fair? He can't get his job back, or reclaim his good name.

The students - meh - no one gives a damn about the students. No one's even thought about them, or asked about them, since the bedlam died down from that event. Do you know who any of them are? Did they have to quit college and MOVE? Were they harassed relentlessly after the event?

Nope - they went back to school, same as usual - and odds are, several have already graduated.
 
Say...whatever happened to all those protesting douchebags and their 'cause' anyway? That was embarrassingly short lived for such 'committed' individuals...

His name is ****, what he did is assult and he should have been arrested and put in jail. You do not throw chemical weapons in the face of anyone.. what he did was similar to Saddam and the Kurds.. except this time around no one got killed.

Just one of those students is 10 times more worth than this right wing jackboot. He is a disgrace to the police and the poster boy of a police state... but I am guessing you cant see that the Kent State students also had it coming right?

Still does not justify dumping a chemical weapon directly into the faces of these people.. sorry there is zero justification for such an act.

You're comparing pepper spray to Sarin Gas ?

Seriously ?

And the alternatives were?

Shrugging one's shoulders and walking away is not an alternative when someone is directly disobeying the law, LEOs, and have been given multiple warnings.

I know things are a little different over the Pond, but I supposed the riots should have been allowed because of possibly offending the rioters?

And the guy is a Nazi and like Saddam, but the thousands of threatening and harassing email, texts and mail was just deserved.

Way to go Pete. Don't just go all out with the over the top retarded rhetoric, but justify the unacceptable behavior of others as "deserved".

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

It takes a special kind of stupid to elicit the "BWA" at the start of my laugh. Then again, it takes a special person to compare sarin gas to pepper spray. It is like comparing nazi death chambers to your average dentist office. After all, both places will see you hit in the face with an airborn chemical.

In all seriousness though, there is little reasonable similarity between a dictator committing genocide on his own people and a security guard who is responding in a non-lethal manner to being harassed.

This is even more ****ed up

Pike was suspended with pay afterward. According to a database of state worker salaries, he earned $119,067 in 2011, the last year for which figures are available.

What the **** kind of college cop makes 119,000 dollars a year? State budget problem, what budget problem, money money everywhere.
 
It's no that hard to see from this who are the defenders of Nazi police tactics. Mere coincidence that they are the same people that are the teabagger Nazis and racists?
 
Also remember this?

No peppery spray is not a WMD, but its not a food product either

If these guys were using Nazi police tactics, they'd be dead.

I think the thread just had not been Godwinned enough yet, so he had to do it.

You've lowered the cumulative IQ of all left wing posters 20 points with that ridiculous post.

I'm not the least bit interested in your ugly racist based teabagger insults. Troll along with your hating somewhere else.

Is that the best you can do ? Talking points and plattitudes ?
