"I was stunned and appalled by the UC Davis Police spraying protestors, and struck by how many brave, curious people recorded the events. I took the four clearest videos and synchronized them. Citizen journalism FTW..."

reading comments on this incident, I learned about the technical term for a concept of escalating use of force, and while those in the military or LEO may know, this was interesting to read for me:

Great video editing... shouldnt there be an app for this kind of simultaneous stitching based on audio?

I believe one of the claims for the use of force here was the inability of officers to leave the situation, and feeling threatened... yet he manages to easily walk over the line and among all non-violent observers.

"struck by how many brave, curious people recorded the events" my ass. they recorded for the same reason folks go to nascar racing or stop at traffic accidents: thrill seeking and carnage lust.
