boing boing has an interview with the pepper-spraying cop, John Pike. It’s quite interesting as well as appalling that this sort of behavior is allowed from so-called professionals.

The Atlantic is also running an article in which the author actually feels bad for Pike. I find it hard to believe that anyone would try to defend Pike’s actions or the non-action of his fellow police officers.

As of now, Pike has been placed on administrative leave. The actions of the university’s chancellor should also come under scrutiny.
