A little while ago there was a thread about OWS where people were posting a bunch of videos as proof of police brutality and over use of power.  Some people in that thread (myself included) pointed out that the videos always started after the police needed to take action, and we never saw what happened before hand to set the police off.  Fast forward and this incident at UC Davis was on youtube and got a lot of press because the cop was out of line and very nonchalantly pepper sprayed some sitting students.  It became pretty popular and even started a meme.

 

Anyway I just saw this video today, which shows what happened before the pepper spray came out.  Its long but worth the watch.

 

The police warned the protestors of what was going to happen if they didn't move about 4 times, and then they formed a circle around the police and wouldn't let them leave until they got what they wanted (They're prevously arrested friends released)

 

Anyway just wanted to make sure this was seen (Sorry if there was already a thread about it) because I think it throws the whole incident into another light.  Anyone have thoughts or opinions with the new(ish) info?
