Legal Powerhouse and Media Magnet, Attorney Gloria Allred on Police Treatment of UC Davis Protesters: Expresses Outrage, Would Consider Representing Someone if They Came to Her, Speaks About the Occupy Movement, More
A video posted on YouTube on November 18th – parts of which have been aired on various media outlets – shows apparently peaceful, seated individuals taking part in what has been reported to be a protest on the campus of UC Davis (University of California.) In the video, an individual identified as a lieutenant in the UC Davis campus police, appears to spray copious amounts of pepper spray on the people seated.
The video has gone viral. Outrage has been expressed in many quarters. There have been calls for the resignation of the Chancellor of UC Davis. Certainly, if we can believe our eyes, this sickening display and callous disregard for human beings demonstrating peacefully brings up a host of civil rights and legal questions, both of the criminal and civil variety.
To gain greater insight into the situation, we welcome back CYInterview regular Gloria Allred to give us some legal insight into what is shown on the video, in addition to what has been reported and the ramifications. CYInterview managing editor Chris Yandek joined us for this important discussion.
We recommend that you listen to this entire CYInterview to gain a more detailed understanding of the event which occurred at UC Davis. You can, of course, read the overview below:
