Arrest Lt. John Pike

Arrest Lt. John Pike

The Issue

Shown in this photo and many more (taken by those in the background of this one) is Lt John Pike assaulting a group of youth. The Davis Enterprise reports that one of the protesters would later need medical attention for chemical burns. Beyond the politics of the Occupy protests, it is simply illegal for someone to assault and do serious physical harm in this manner, with ample documentation, and get away with it. The man in this photo must be released and barred from any position of authority, and should be arrested.
