According to operatives of the Democrat-media complex, the protesters at UC Davis who got pepper-sprayed are the equivalent of Rodney King or the lone man at Tiananmen Square who faced a tank.
But according to Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media, that's not so. Moreover, one of the faculty leading the protest is scheduled to teach a course in Marxism, and wants the police permanently evicted from the campus:
A campus conservative at UC Davis was so disgusted by slanted coverage of the Occupy movement that he reached out to Fox News and provided the channel a video showing police officers being surrounded by protesters after dismantling an illegal tent site. Marcus Shibler, chairman of Davis College Republicans, says the officers were met with chants of “F— the police.”
Meanwhile, one of the UC Davis faculty members involved in leading the protests is scheduled to teach a course on Marxism and is now calling for the campus police to be completely evicted from the university.
A syllabus for Professor Nathan Brown’s course begins with a Karl Marx quote about communism being “the real movement which abolishes the present state of things.” The on-line course description is decorated with a hammer and sickle, the symbol of communism.
The video can be seen here.
Another video released earlier shows that protesters gave their consent prior to being pepper-sprayed.
Since the incident, one of the protesters admitted surrounding the police provoking them into using the pepper spray.
"Well we were protesting together and the riot cops came at us and we linked arms and sat down peacefully to protest their presence on our campus. And then at one point they were – we had encircled them and they were trying to leave and they were trying to clear a path," protester Elli Pearson said.
"And so we sat down, linked arms and said that if they wanted to clear the path they would have to go through us," she added, admitting they provoked the police.
Of course, that is not the picture presented to the public by the leftist media.
Wealthy filmmaker Michael Moore said images of the Davis protesters would be received around the world like the lone man in Tiananmen Square.
MSNBC's Ed Schultz, a man recently named one of the "Least Influential People Alive" by GQ magazine, compared the incident to the Rodney King beating of the 1990's.
According to Schibler, Chancellor Linda Katehi caved to the protesters, providing meals and toilets for the squatters and taking what he calls "the politically correct route."
“She has done nothing but appease them now,” he said.
Schibler says the public has no idea how bad things really were at UC Davis - thanks to the so-called "mainstream press."
“The day that they set up camp,” he said, “they had hundreds of people marching through classes, mine included. They marched through classes with hundreds of people banging on walls, kicking walls, slamming doors, and screaming ‘We are the 99 percent.’ There’s a huge difference between free speech and what they were doing.”
He adds that the officers involved have been targeted by the hacker group Anonymous, which has posted personal information about them.
“Their careers and families are hanging in the balance over the chancellor trying to be politically correct and appease the mob,” he said.
Kincaid adds:
Shibler is also critical of the aforementioned professor, Nathan Brown, an instigator of one of the protests who claims that the police pinned down and forced open the mouths of protesters and pepper-sprayed down their throats, causing one to vomit up blood. “Having been five feet away from it, that is such an outright lie,” Shibler said
He said Brown’s letter calling on Katehi to resign contains inaccuracies and misrepresentations about what transpired.
But it turns out that Brown was not even present when the pepper-spray incident took place. Nevertheless, he insists it was a case of police brutality.
The Occupy Wall Street protests have been endorsed by Communists, Nazis and Islamists worldwide, so it is no surprise to learn that a leader of the Davis protest teaches Marxist ideology.
The report continues:
On Monday, protesters attempted to close down the campus and occupy various university buildings. The campus paper, The California Aggie, said, “Teach-ins, or open lectures and discussions on topics relevant to the general strike, were taught at different locations on campus by professors and graduate students. Teach-in topics ranged from meditation to the history of the Marxist theory.”
The protesters issued three demands, “(1) The immediate resignation of Katehi, (2) Cops off campus, replaced with an alternative safety group, and (3) Freeze on tuition increases.”
In other words, "We want it all, we want it now, and we want it for free."
