Explain from the chief of assholes - ooopppss I mean Chief of Police why the police were up into to resident halls TEAR GASSING RESIDENTS?Also the police announced leave or you are in violation of the crime code; what crime code be specific as to what code they claim.Also require the police to explain why people who were not even involved in any protest; walking home getting beat with batons, gassed and sprayed????The one the really makes no sense on the police part is the students in a stairway not in any protest get trapped by the police; they are ordered by the police at the bottom who come up the stairway to leave; so they the students go up the stairway; then encounter police at the top who order them to leave and go down; THEY CAN NOT. They get gassed and pepper sprayed for no reason.If the people who had no involvement in any protest were assaulted by the police and have solid proof of it they should file a federal civil rights complaint and sue..
