Late 2011 I posted about the jackass who pepper sprayed a bunch of kids for absolutely no reason. He was a University of California Davis campus police officer. I'm still stunned thinking about the restraint of each and every one of those students in the video... I'm glad my 20 year old self wasn't there. I'm pretty sure at that age my righteous rage would have gotten the better of me -- I would have tackled and restrained him and probably sparked a riot. It's just difficult to watch one human being abuse another one, doubly so when the abuser holds a position of trust and authority.
I have wondered what happened to that guy and saw this today. I assumed he would be fired and, well, I was right. Turns out he was fired after a stint on administrative leave and went on disability due to stress. The school payed him 38k for disability and ended up settling with the students.
