3. Unfit to be Chancellor! Should be kicked out, unable to handle situations. n/t

4. Brilliant...

Totally turns the narrative.

[Pachamama]

5. As much as I would have liked to hear boos or hissing, the silence was deafening....

Whoa......

[quakerboy]

8. more than any chant

I found that powerful. Made me wonder what would happen if she, Bloomberg, Sam Adams, Tony Baloney, and every other willing participant in this were to face that every morning as they leave their home, every night as they leave work.

9. I so agree. nm

7. I'll bet she does not sleep well after that perp walk.

Did I hear her aide say to the reporter something like "We've asked for respectful silence'" ?
Weird

13. Silence? How did the crowd accomplish that?

That is an amazing video. I am in awe.

14. That long uncomfortable walk lined with protesters, with only the sound of her footsteps, tells me

that it's over for the chancellor. How can she lead when she has lost their respect? It's easy for ambitious politicians to get caught up in the "I'll show the powers-that-be that I can be tough" frenzy, but when it comes to simple everyday life, they're surrounded by the 99%.

15. Wow...the power of their presence is so potent in the silence...

I have the feeling that even if she doesn't resign her position she will be forever changed by this.
We need to remind ourselves that THAT (inner and outer shifts in consciousness and understanding) is the goal, not punishment.
Forgiveness and redemption have to be offered or there is no room for transformation individually or as a collective.

16. Powerful

17. I'm glad you posted this.

When I first saw it, I thought how naturally dramatic. An understated but fittingly powerful end to what had happened.

19. Where is our America? Free speech I guss not

Exceedingly bad judgment was exercised yesterday from UC Davis Chancellor Katehi,
Police Chief Annette Spicuzza, and especially Police Lt. John Pike!!!!!.

20. The powers that be;

May see this event as a weakness in their fight against OSW. How about the scenario; an agent provocateur is dispatched to one of the Occupies with instructions to cause grevious injury to any person in authority that might quit in the face of their failures against said Occupiers. This will send a message to other authority figures that would think of quitting in the face of public opinion-in other words, 'Pull a Palin.'

[Pharaoh]

21. Wow!!!

That brought tears to my eyes...........

Powerful!

[Enthusiast]

22. Wow!................nt
