The report puts the blame for the bad call at all levels of university administration.

Hmm. Six MONTHS to the day after the incident ?

Sounds like some investigation was coming to a close.

Yes the report was released last week. It's very interesting, especially given how many people at the time claimed that police use of the pepper spray was authorized, routine, and reasonable. The review found it was NONE of those things.

"Throughout more than 100 pages of the two reports — one conducted by the task force itself, the other by an outside company at the behest of the university — virtually all of the claims initially made by the police department and its defenders in the UC-Davis administration were debunked.

The task force found that the use of MK-9, the pepper spray discharged by Lt. Pike (and called a food product by Fox News’ Megyn Kelly), was not an authorized weapon for the department and its use “was objectively unreasonable.”

When asked why they felt the need to use the spray, officers initially told the task force that they felt the mob was hostile and needed to create a pathway for the officers to leave the quad. The task force concluded that “a detailed review of the evidence undermines this conclusion.”"

...but.... she's a grrrl ! Not an Evil Middle Aged White Guy ! She defacto must have been set up by the MAWGs !

Am I the only one who think that, had she been a classic Republican MAWG, s(he) would have been out on her (his) assets within minutes ?

I'm not aware of her political party, or if she cares about politics. Not sure I see the connection. And no, a major public university chief of police wouldn't be fired without an investigation, and those take time.
She was put on paid leave right away and that seems like a fair response.

Yes.

But it's very brave of you to stand up for the poor abused middle-aged white guys, pathetic little overdogs that they are.
