Lt. John Pike: VIDEO OF UC Davis Pepper Spray Attack Goes Viral. Time for heads to roll at UC Davis

Time for heads to roll at UC Davis. Lots of them. A nasty pepper spray attack on student protesters this past week has been caught on video and now going viral thanks to an open media and the gift of the internet.
What the hell is wrong with UC David Police Lt. John Pike who is seen spraying dozens of student during an "Occupy Movement Protest" on the TAXPAYER OWNED university.
College campuses have always been the place where Freedom of Speech is suppose to be as normal as trying to get a parking place. Opps, I take that back. Have you tried to get a parking space at a taxpayer owned college facility lately?
Office Pike needs to be fired and brought up on criminal charges. If I had a child who was a student at UC Davis, I would be demanding heads to roll, and would file the biggest lawsuit possible.
This is the post from You Tube:
"Title says all. During peacefully Occupy Movement, police came in to tear down tents and proceeded to arrest students who stood in their way. Once students peacefully demanded the release of the arrested, a police officer unnecessarily pepper sprays the students to open a path for the rest of the officers
*UPDATE*
The officer who sprayed the students was UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike

These police officers are soft. They need to go back to the 70's run Darryl Gates to show you how a real police department would have handled this.; Sunday, November 20, 2011 4:04:00 PM

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
