You may have already seen the shocking viral videos from the Occupy Uni of California Davis movement last week, where Lt John Pike of the campus police casually sprayed a group of protesters point blank in the face like he was watering some plants. He now has his own internet meme floating around and it's using a touch of dark humour to drive home a point about the police reaction, in the way that only basic Photoshopping can.

So simple but effective. Amazing how technology these days can highlight situations like this. Once upon a time, people would have filed complaints against being pepper sprayed but when up against 'the law' who would have believed them. Then came along Twitter/Facebook et al and now there is no hiding place :)
