Remember the fuck who peppered sprayed the Occupy protesters at UC Davis?



Campus cop who pepper-sprayed Occupy protesters no longer works at UC Davis

The campus police officer videotaped mercilessly pepper-spraying students during a protest last year is no longer employed by the University of California, Davis.

Lt. John Pike has been on paid leave since viral video surfaced in November of him and at least one other colleague drenching a row of protesters with pepper spray at the Occupy Davis camp.

“Consistent with privacy guidelines established in state law and University policy, I can confirm that John Pike’s employment with the University ended on July 31, 2012,” Barry Shiller, interim executive director of strategic communications, said in a statement to the Daily News.

Shiller said he was unable to comment on whether Pike, 39, resigned or was fired from the university.

.. this pig gangster POS should be made to repay any salary he received after his felonious assault on these citizens and then charged, prosecuted and jailed, where he belongs.

But that's just me.

When people order a salad or pasta dish, he is the guy who comes over and grinds pepper on to them.

In fact, even if you DIDN'T order a salad or pasta. He comes over with a big pepper grinder and starts right in grinding.

And you're like "hey, I don't want any pepper !"

And he grinds away as he says "Stop resisting! STOP RESISTING!"

He probably actually has some skills too, having been through the police academy.

BUT the thug should have been brought up on charges AND be subject to Civil suits. THAT is one very sick individual!!

The Last time I was that outraged was Kent State.

I know this is unkind, but Mr.Pike and Mr. Holmes in Aurora remind me of each other, some piece is just gone from their senses. Satan had a field day with each one of them.

Now am all fired up once more. ...sorry.

probably went to work in another cop shop 20 minutes later....

Instead we're only supposed to talk about resigning or being fired.
