Hey, look at that, we partially agree. At the very least they should not keep secret some safety issue, even if it means more cost to the company or whoever.
The police don't care. It's not coming out of their pockets or their union's pocket. It's a taxpayer-funded penalty that won't impact the PD a single bit, and will just come out of the UC general education fund. May as well just hand out money ... oh wait, CA already does that.
It won't even touch the police union. It's going to come out of the general taxpayer fund. That's what is so hilarious about it.
My thought is, were the students really preventing classes to start because they were blocking the sidewalks? Why were they pepper sprayed to begin with since its private property?
This is true so no matter what you do the police will remain incompetent, as long as the government forces us to pay them.
"Incompetent" compared to what? I have a pretty crime-free life (meaning I rarely experience it), and I attribute that in large part to the presence of police. Ed O.
