After peaceful protesters at UC Davis were pepper-sprayed by police, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjnR7xET7Uo#!, the school chancellor refused to leave the building for three hours following a press conference out of fear of the students outside. But they just wanted to stare at her silently, hundreds of them. Awkward: http://gawker.com/5861197/uc-davis-students-creepy-powerful-protest-against-pepper+spray-chancellor

Were they actually doing anything to warrant that or just sitting still?

Another police officer (not involved) said they resisted (http://news.yahoo.com/passive-occupy-protesters-pepper-spray-blast-021103566.html):
> After reviewing the video, [former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant Charles J. Kelly] said he observed at least two cases of "active resistance" from protesters. In one instance, a woman pulls her arm back from an officer. In the second instance, a protester curls into a ball. Each of those actions could have warranted more force, including baton strikes and pressure-point techniques.
Haven't read anything on what the police involved have said. Apparently they held open some protesters' mouths to spray pepper spray directly down their throats at one point.

What the fuck. That's how they respond to a non-violent student protest?
When students covered their eyes with their clothing, police forced open their mouths and pepper-sprayed down their throats. Several of these students were hospitalized. Others are seriously injured. One of them, forty-five minutes after being pepper-sprayed down his throat, was still coughing up blood.
