Chancellor Katehi:
As the a former ASUCD President and a proud UC Davis Alum, I am sickened and disturbed by what I witnessed happen to students on the UC Davis campus on Friday. During my tenure at UCD we had ample issues with UCPD; but under your direction, the treatment of students by police…
Occupy Movement News Update of the Day: Brandon Watts, who was bloodied by NYPD officers during this week’s Day of Action after allegedly stealing a policeman’s hat, was photographed holding up his now-iconic photo while looking much better.
Watts, who was one of the first people to pitch a tent in Zuccotti Park, reportedly lost his virginity there.
Another dramatic photo to emerge for this week’s N17 protests is this one by Jon Tayler of an NYPD officer pulling a female OWS protester to the ground by her hair:
Two days earlier, just after the raid on Zuccotti, retired New York Supreme Court Judge Karen Smith had a similar experience when says she was pushed up against the wall by a police officer while trying to help woman he was allegedly beating.
“I was there to take down the names of people who were arrested,” Smith told Democracy Now!. She says she witnessed an African-American woman, who claimed her daughter was inside the Park, being thrown to the ground by a cop after she started crying.
“I walk over, and I say, ‘Look, cuff her if she’s done something, but you don’t need to do that’.” The officer then allegedly threatened Smith with arrest, despite her status as a legal observer being printed on her hat. “He said, ‘You want to get arrested?’ And he pushed me up against the wall.”
Follow Up:
Moved by yesterday’s footage of UC Davis students being pepper-sprayed by police, UCD Assistant Professor Nathan Brown wrote an open letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi, in which he claims “police forced open [protesters’] mouths and pepper-sprayed down their throats.”
He blames Chancellor Katehi for the violence, and demands her immediate resignation on the grounds that she is “the primary threat to the safety of students at UC Davis.”
Meanwhile, the police offers who initially doused the protesters with pepper spray has been identified as UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike. UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza defended the use of pepper spray, saying officers were concerned for their own safety.

UPDATE: Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi responds: “I am forming a task force made of faculty, students and staff to review the events and provide to me a thorough report within 90 days.”
UCD’s on the Daily What! Terrible reason for it, though :( Incidentally, the open letter from Professor Brown is a great read and a good insight on yesterday’s events.
Anyone get a badge number on this guy? With that many cameras, someone must have it.UC Davis police officer pepper sprays sitting students because, well, just because.
Think that’s %$#ing horrible? The video’s worse.

I’m sorry, this has gone too far. This has happened in police department after police department, and it has gone too far. Our police look like the goons in Russia and China. Please watch this video and send it to everyone you know. This has gone too far.
This makes me sick to my stomach.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
The officer has already been identified as Lt. John Pike; his contact information is readily available if you search for him on Twitter.
I’m incredibly disappointed that this is happening at my school, a place I’ve grown to love dearly and always will, despite these recent developments. I had faith that UCD police act first and foremost to protect our wellbeing; instead, they utilized excessive force to remove nonviolent protesters.
There are a lot of stories flying around right now with conflicting information, and I don’t have time to elaborate on the situation right now (2 back-to-back midterms on Monday! D:) Regardless, I admire the courage of the people who went out and stood for something they believe in (protesting our never-ending tuition hikes and solidarity with OWS), especially in the face of their abhorrent treatment by campus police.
There’s a protest scheduled for 12 PM Monday in the quad, and in light of these events I have a feeling it’s going to be pretty well-attended. Get the word out!

I didn’t have any indication that the the prints you’ve been working on were so large! What an absolutely beautiful workspace, I’m quite jealous :)
