Apache Junction, Ariz., Nov. 19, 2011 -
The Pinal County Greens, members of the Arizona Green Party in Pinal County, today passed a resolution condemning campus police brutality against Occupy protesters at the University of California and calling on UC-Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi to resign following the shocking pepper-spray assault against students and faculty.
"Outrageous police brutality at the University of California, including the beating and pepper-spraying of peaceful protesters like faculty member and former poet laureate Robert Haas, his wife and others brings shame on what was once a great institution of higher education," said Richard Grayson, co-chair of the Pinal County Greens. "Following the open letter of UC-Davis English Prof. Nathan Brown, the Pinal County Greens call for the immediate resignation of Chancellor Katehi, who is responsible for this most un-American of barbaric actions."
