UCD peppered by 'Net outrage

UC Davis officials found themselves under a barrage of Internet-driven outrage Saturday, after campus police officers pepper-sprayed protesters at an Occupy UC Davis encampment Friday.

---

Videos of the incident drew strong reaction, and a national conversation on the incident was quickly joined. Some commenters were outraged by what they saw as needless violence, while others supported the police action.

Davis resident Bob Blaine, 25, was at Friday's scene and also outside the news conference Saturday. Speaking of the rapidly spreading videos, he said officials "just lit a huge fire in Davis."

Various postings on sacbee.com had more than 1,500 comments combined by Saturday evening. An online account at The Huffington Post website had more than 30,000 comments.

4. I do not see the Partisan part. That is I think Americans are

outraged, politicians of both Parties are not. I sure don't hear many elected Democrats expressing any view at all. Take the President. He sure does not look outraged. Out of town, not outraged.

Republicans are Americans and they vote.
