According to three user-conglomerated sites, OSU students partying in their annual "Woodfest" (i.e. a large block party) were pepper-sprayed / tear-gassed / hit with batons by police. Defenders of the police's actions argue that the OSU students started throwing things at the police (which I would believe to be true without proof).
Let the witty comments commence!
Classy
Cheering for police brutality on teenagers. Classy!
No, they should stop the
No, they should stop the morons from breaking stuff without hurting innocent kids. The choice is not binary.
I'm trying to moderate
your comments but there's not an "idiotic" category.
Seems to me
If you throw beer bottles at cops, you have no right to expect to not get your ass beat.
Although it was warranted if
Although it was warranted if the students actually were throwing things. I find it pretty unlikely the cops just broke out the batons and pepper spray for the novelty of it.
I don't like unfounded accusations of police brutality.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
Not unfounded
Look at this video. The police are not being attacked, and yet they are pepper sparying large groups of people who are standing still booing them. They are just indiscriminately sparying people on the sidewalk.
There's one kid in the middle of the street who seems to be aggresive, but it's not like they are using the spray to neutralize specific violent individuals. They are just spraying everyone on the sidewalk. This is indiscriminate violence.

Is this really off topic
since it happens about every three days?

About as certain
I'm about as certain those "students" were throwing stuff at police as I am the sun will come up tomorrow.
They're lucky it wasn't rubber bullets and tasers.
Taser is better
I would rather be hit with a taser than OC spray (pepper spray). Once that 5 second shock is over, the pain is gone. The OC spray that police use is water based and will reactivate every time water comes in contact with any spray that is on the skin. So every time these students take a shower for the few days they will feel the sting.
You can sum up this sport in two words, 'You never know.'
Imagine...
the sting they are going to feel when Brady and the boys pour a 25 gallon drum of Wolverine whip ass on their football team?
Assuming
You are assuming that OSU students shower
They do shower, if shower
They do shower, if shower means having beer poured on you.

Ever taken an Axe shower?

You couldn't pay me to take the taser. That looks awful.

Grumble grumble glass houses...
This sounds like college students in general..I remember going to block parties on Arbor and Greenwood that had to be broken up by police. The biggest difference is the ability for immediate commentary such as iPhones, Facebook, YouTube, and twitter which were not available even 7-10 years ago.

well played.
Consistent with his spring results, Braxton Miller's bounced twice and landed on the officer's foot.
It was a good thing Pryor brought his legally purchased truck to take all the football players home and keep them out of trouble.

That is not Pryor's car. He is just test driving it.

It's not the block party
It's not the block party aspect that warrantd this thread, it's the reaction to the police. We have block parties, but when the block party is shut down, everyone goes and does something else. We don't rrun amok like Sparty or now tsiO.

When I read "OSU Students" I was certain that they were demonstrating in support of the Arab Spring movement, not partying in support of "Woodfest."
Effecting Social Change
I didn't think that a gathering of students in Columbus would be to effect social change.....that didn't seem likely somehow.

How is it those unfounded accusations exist?
Lucky for the students that this crew wasn't around.

A coouple of my roommates
A coouple of my roommates were there and from what they said any police force was justified.
I was walking home from the bars when suddenly every cop in Columbus had their siren on and were converging on a single location. This morning I found out that the police had shown up to break up the party as it was getting out of hand. When a large "patty wagon" showed up, the students started booing it and throwing crap at it, at which point the cops started using tear.
So, Cops 1, drunken students 0, which is fine by me.

Don't see what was wrong with
Don't see what was wrong with what the cops did, contrary to a few posters that suggested they were "hurting" students. Pepper spray is a non-violent riot control. If it was the police using batons to bash students, obviously that would be different. But it wasn't the case.

Officers attempted to clear the streets with a chemical substance, when several bottles were thrown at the officers. Columbus police reported that three officers sustained injuries and that several people were arrested.
Giesige said he saw one police cruiser attempt to drive east on Woodruff, when he encountered hundreds of people blocking the way. Giesige said he saw people jumping on the car and throwing bottles and cans at the police cruiser.
