I cried when I watched this video. There is no honor in beating and attacking defenseless students. These young generations will be our future leaders and they are treated like criminals.

If those police are so brave, then go to Afghanistan and fight the real enemies!

Almost every of us has children or grandchildren who will go to colleges, and this is what we get? How do we send this video to the White House?

Chinu: Re: Obama/police. Here's a video that was made very early on when the NYPD was brutalizing in Zucotti park.

It shows the hypocrisy of American rhetoric and policy re: free speech and right of assembly. It's just as relevant today.

A couple of those UC Davis students can easily and quickly make their own equivalent, shorter version and let it go viral.

He needs to order the police out of student campuses

Obama doesn't have that authority unless he declares a state of emergency.

I meant to add.......Jerry Brown needs to step up and meet with the chancellors of the UC system on this issue.

Almost every large campus in America has a police force. With the amount of drinking and sexual assaults done there, it's needed.
