Shortly before 4 p.m., about 35 officers from UC Davis and other UC campuses as well as the city of Davis responded to the protest, said Annette Spicuzza, UC Davis police chief. They were wearing protective gear and some held batons.
She said officers were forced to use pepper spray when students surrounded them. They used a sweeping motion on the group, per procedure, to avoid injury, she said.
"There was no way out of that circle," Spicuzza said. "They were cutting the officers off from their support. It's a very volatile situation."

There was no way out. The cops were surrounded and they had to battle their way to safety by pepper spraying 10 protesters sitting down LOL. She makes it sound like they were marines in Nam cut off and had to fight their way out against all odds. Great "newspeak" Annette, Orwell would be proud of big sister. I love how these automatons have the balls to say this bald faced lie even in the face of video showing clearly the opposite. Shows you just how bold the police are and how fucked anyone still living in America is- LOL
