What really happened at UC Davis - Don't second guess a tactical situation

Just goes to show you cannot judge a tactical situation from an armchair. UC Davis Police Chief should be ashamed of herself for crucifying her officers, and these protesters were completely in the wrong. Threatening police? Demanding they release detainees? Trapping them and refusing to let them leave? This is also about 20 cops surrounded and threatened by hundreds of protesters. These kids are lucky all they got was pepper spray in their face. That is the least brutal way for these officers to have pushed through and done their job. Give a cop an ultimatum and see what happens. In America, you go to jail (unless you're at UC Davis, where you just get sprayed and start crying.) Anywhere else in the world, you'd likely end up dead.
