She made this happen.
Of course the part nobody reports on is the fact that the students had encircled the cops after they arrested somebody and were trying to leave with the prisoners. To allow them through the seated protesters would have to move. Hence why the above link is crap.
There were one of four options there
1) Wait, and see if the crowd/mob gets worse/turns violent
2) Pepperspray your way out
3) Beat your way out
4) Let go of people who were arrested basically showing the police are worthless and leading to a general escalation that would likely lead to riots.
Pepperspray was by far the best option avaiable.
Those kids were sitting down. Unless one of the officers was particularly short, they could have just stepped over them
Your going tor step over people WITH prisoners in tow?
