They can protest all they want. They're bitching because their state is broke, like $612,054,955 in the hole broke, and can no longer afford to subsidize tuition down to the $1500/yr it was just a few years ago. California already has some of the highest taxes in the country and has watched much of its business sector flee to Texas since the recession started. Gotta make choices at some point, and the state chose to have tuition more accurately reflect the cost of going to a UC school. It's still among the lowest tuition in the country, the students just want something to cry about.Uzique wrote:

so the officers have been put on leave and the university chancellor has condemned it. still right to pepper spray students that are unhappy with a fee increase? you are a mong.yup, during an investigation. that's what "indefinitely" means, right?The officers, whose names were not released, will remain on paid leave indefinitely.
nice reading skills.
also, compare the video of the pepper spray being used to the police statement:yup, row of students sitting with their heads bowed. "surrounding police". the policeman even held the pepperspray in the air as if he was casually announcing that he was gonna spray a bunch of people doing nothing. right.UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza told reporters Saturday that the decision to use the pepper spray was made at the scene. "The students had encircled the officers," she said. "They needed to exit. They were looking to leave but were unable to get out."
But the school said in a statement, "Videos taken during Friday’s arrests showed that the two officers used pepper spray on peacefully seated students."
jay how are some students concerned over tuition fee increases "shitheads"? i've protested against tuition fee increases in my own country. am i a shithead? i thought it was just because i didn't want to get ripped off. meh. guess i'm a shithead.
i reserve my right to officially call you both a mong.
marine i like how you returned to bf2s for the umpteenth time to carry on being pig ignorant and dumb on purpose. do you get off on it or something? i posted a link to support my evidence and you still said the same dumb shit, despite the link proving you wrong.
