Is California Still In America?

I do not understand why a fat UC Davis cop in riot gear, proudly sprays seated, non-violent protesters with pepper spray.  "Apply Liberally"?  Does he have a Eric Cartman fixation, where he's going to make sure everyone 'respects his authoritah!'  Is UC Davis, and the state of California, still part of the United States?

Watch the video here, (link) to see that the photo below is not a photo-shopped image.  The first 30 seconds is incredibly disturbing.

I don't get it.  What did any of those kids do to justify spraying them with millions of scoville units of pain & misery?  Why is that fat idiot (whose part of the 99%, not the richest 1%) still employed by his plutocratic masters?  This is not China, or Egypt, or Bahrain. 

Why should a fat, out of shape, frightened, drunk with authority, impotent little twit who thinks he's "muy macho" and "all tough in his riot gear" have the ability, in the United States of America, to blatantly, wantonly, NEEDLESSLY, spray college kids who are sitting on the ground, not resisting arrest, hand cuffed, en masse???

It's not only a failure of the system (UC Davis police, California justice system, law enforcement thinking they are above the law) to enable such a act to take place, but it's a failure of parenting and society, that such an evil little boy could be raised by parents who did not know how to instill a proper value system in their son's mind, by a society that allows such behavior to continue without giving a damn in a country that supposed to have constitutional freedoms, and by Executive branch leadership at UC Davis, the whole UC system, the state of California, and the White House.  I KNOW that President Obama has no control over what some fat ass with a badge in California does, but he needs to take a stand, to make a statement, when things have GONE TOO FAR.  He's good at taking stands, when he thinks it will benefit him politically.  I seem to remember a statement he made....  earlier this year....   it went something, like this:

"...will stand up for them everywhere" ???  Really??  Or is it ""...will stand up for them everywhere*"

I expected this sort of brute force to be condoned (even in silence) by a Republican lead Executive branch.  It's inexcusable to be condoned by a supposedly Democratic one.
