Officer who pepper sprayed students previously involved in racist, anti-gay slur lawsuit

[yardwork]

But an alleged anti-gay slur by Pike also figured in a racial and sexual discrimination lawsuit a former police officer filed against the department, which ended in a $240,000 settlement in 2008. Officer Calvin Chang's 2003 discrimination complaint against the university's police chief and the UC Board of Regents alleged he was systematically marginalized as the result of anti-gay and racist attitudes on the force, and he specifically claimed Pike described him using a profane anti-gay epithet.

9. You can tell by the way pike was enjoying spraying those kids that

he's a redneck.

10. Whoa.

I remember you said a few years ago that the high levels of this kind of bigoted oppression seemed to go hand in hand with corporate oppression. That thought has stuck with me.

11. Interesting, isn't it? Also a reminder that bigots tend to be violent.

Emotionally unstable bigots tend to act out in violent ways.

Miserable fuck.
