That- that's about it.

The Davis episode shows that pepper spray has become a weapon of choice even for University of California police.

"This is what happens when authority is unaccountable and has lost any sense of human connection to a subject population," he wrote. "That's what I think here."


— Alexis Madrigal, "Why I Feel Bad for the Pepper-Spraying Policeman, Lt. John Pike", The Atlantic (2011)
