I am a resident of Davis and an employee of UC Davis.
I resent that people who are not residents and do not have a university affiliation are exploiting recent unfortunate events to promote their agendas.
My sense is that more than 99 percent of our students wish to pursue their education without these distractions. I support the minority of students who wish to peaceably demonstrate their right of free speech, but I do not support others who are using our campus to get media attention and disrupt the peace of our wonderful community and university.
I vote to let authorities deal with the pepper-spraying incident equitably and then move on with our lives.
