Cruelty Shouldn't Be This Funny

I am sure many of you have seen variations of this video:


This infamous video captured at UC Davis showed police officers using excessive force to break up a peaceful protest with Pepper Spray.  The debate goes on whether or not the use of the pepper spray was justified, but the internet has spoken.

Humane or not, it HAD to be turned into a meme...








It's ok, pepper spray cop, I think #Tebowing is silly too.


It's only a shame this had to happen in November.  Come next Halloween, this would have made an awesome costume.  Sadly, this guy will be all but forgotten by then...

  1. WOW, i really didn't like seeing that video even though I knew about it and some of my friends from Davis were there that day and watched the cops do that. There is no way I would have stayed sitting there though if I knew pepper spray was coming. Thanks for sharing all the other photos too

  5. I shit you not I busted out laughing at the Leonardo DiCaprio one. That one is funny no matter how you use it...but that one is flat out Hi-Larious!

    On another note I have no idea in what situation pepper spraying people not moving, fighting, or being violent...and pepper spraying them to that extreme degree, is necessary. I think you used the key term..."peaceful protest".

  6. I like that humanity has the ability to realize how awful something is and then let off some collective steam in turning the dude into a douche bag. You have to have a sense of humor to survive the madness.

  7. The only way to deal with something that horrific was by memeing it up. Love the internet. It helps me cope with madness.

  14. Psssh, as that bitch on Fox News said, it's made from peppers, so it's basically a food. It's not even a big deal. Pansies.

    Also, as a Coloradan/Denver Broncos fan, I must say that I laughed quite hard at the Tebow one.

  15. The protestors aren't the ones who needed the pepper spray. The regents of the UC system need the pepper spray. They continually hike up tuition claiming there's no money for the school otherwhise, and then they wind up with big fat raises.

  16. Just mace anyone who doesn't get your costume in the face. That'll learn 'em!
