"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

It's comical how you quote an article, but pick and choose what you want it to say:

Karen Nikos, a UC Davis spokeswoman, said the campers were given written warning to remove the tents by 3 p.m. or police would remove them. She said many of the campers did take down their tents before police arrived.

You forgot to mention the part where the students were told to take down the tents by the school.
Sorry Charlie. It's a school, not a fucking campground. It is not your property, and you do not have the right to pitch a tent on a college campus. They were told to remove the tents, and when they failed the police were called in to handle the disturbance. When the students failed to comply to police orders, well, they got sprayed.
