The cop who mercilessly doused peaceful, seated protesters with pepper spray recently claimed he has psychological injuries from the incident and demanded workman’s compensation. And California is granting it to him. The University of California, Davis — a tax funded college — will pay the fired assailant $38,056 to ease his emotional suffering.

The original incident was a memorable one; an iconic image police abuse. Back on November 18th, 2011, student protesters gathered in a protest against corporatism and state violence. A group of them sat huddled in a line on a public sidewalk.

Surrounded by cops wearing riot masks and threatening violence, they were attacked — in ironic fashion — with chemical weapons without provocation during their protest.

I want to say "unbelievable," but nothing is these days.

Sadly, none of this type of stuff surprises me anymore. Just another day in the Kafkaesque nightmare Amerika has become. Move along. Nothing to see here.

His actions cost the university $1 million in settlements split between the 21 victims of the attack. And now the attacker will get another reward for his efforts.

So the students are considered victims, won a settlement and the guy was fired (eventually) but now he's also a "victim"?

Gimmie a break...

Just imagine how bad it would have been had he been "forced" to gun them down? The poor dear might have lost his mind entirely.

Oh, I have words but none of them I should be typing or uttering right now.
