Pepper spray used on UC students

It turns out the motion from Occupy Wall Street continues to increase, and the stories are getting more drastic. Today, Saturday, protests at UC Davis led police to use pepper spray on students to control the crowd. A video of the police apparently staying students at close range has been circulating in the Internet and is subject for investigation. This kind of violence seems far too extreme for the procedure to deal with protestors who are just practicing their first amendment. As long as the protestors don't increase any violent behavior on their end, police will be crossing a line.
