Carl Coryell-Martin tweeted "Vastly more readable summary of the UC Davis Pepper Spray Debacle: http://bradhicks.livejournal.com/459368.html original: http://reynosoreport.ucdavis.edu/reynoso-report.pdf (I've read both.)"
That Brad Hick link starts out:
You know how every time somebody in law enforcement does something that looks bad, we're told that we should "wait until the facts are in" before passing judgment? Well, after Lieutenant Pike of the UC Davis Police Department became an internet meme by using high-pressure pepper-spray on peaceful resisters, the campus hired an independent consulting firm to interview everybody they could find, review all the videos and other evidence, review the relevant policies and laws, and issue a final fact-finding report to the university. The university just released that report, along with their summary (PDF link), and the final report is even worse than the news accounts made it seem.
