Another widely-circulated description comes from assistant English professor Nathan Brown:

Police used batons to try to push the students apart. Those they could separate, they arrested, kneeling on their bodies and pushing their heads into the ground. Those they could not separate, they pepper-sprayed directly in the face, holding these students as they did so. When students covered their eyes with their clothing, police forced open their mouths and pepper-sprayed down their throats. Several of these students were hospitalized. Others are seriously injured. One of them, forty-five minutes after being pepper-sprayed down his throat, was still coughing up blood.

The "clip" being shown here does not have any of this on it. Just peaceful students sitting and one cop spraying them and then walking away. One cop and he did not touch them at all.

I believe the proff- most likely, the rest was just not caught on video. But, this is what the general public here in CA is being shown. I don't think there was a need for pepper spray at all.

Maybe there are other clips out there?
