Most large news outlets only showed a few seconds of the from UC Davis.
For many, that's all they need to see to feel convinced of police wrongdoing. Many feel that cops at all, let alone in riot gear and armed with pepper spray.
This video posted by YouTube user Timasu contains chronological footage of the events on the quad along with the videographer's personal opinions and interpretations of why the police responed the way they did.
Some who watch it will get angry, while others will likely identify with some Timasu's points. Either way, it's worth watching if only to explore the situation from someone else's perspective.
He also posted a version without the commentary. Here's what the user says on YouTube:
This video shows the events leading up to the use of pepper spray by UC Davis police officers. I made this from video I and a friend I was visiting shot. This video shows in chronological order events leading up to the use of pepper spray. I created the video from about an hour of footage, and much of what I cut was when people were standing around and chanting. There were cameras everywhere (on both sides of me and behind me), so I'm sure if you do a search you will be able to find video of the events from different angles. I encourage people to do their own research... the comments in the video are only opinions.
