Remember when that cop pepper-sprayed students in 2011? UC Davis paid $175K to scrub it from the internet’s memory https://t.co/5prbgrx1WL

Nice try fuckers.
$175K wasted with every reblog.
Let’s make sure they DON’T get their money’s worth.
Oh hey, my 2020 vision says THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS, MOTHERFUCKERS.
Hey, so what exactly was that cops name again…?
Lt. John Pike. It took more than two years of legal battles to get his name, and the names of other officers involved, released to the public.
He got fired… but retained his retirement benefits, and got $38,000 worth of worker’s compensation for the stress he went through after the incident.
The students collectively received $1m, with each pepper-sprayed student receiving $30,000 individually.
Don’t forget to add this as a scheduled post so it’ll automatically pop back up in a year or two
Welp, it’s been 4 years.
