An Open (Wide) And Shut Case

I'm trying to figure out why we need a blue-ribbon commission here to determine what happened in the UC Davis pepper spray case, but that's the way the UC Davis admins want to play it.

Former LAPD Chief William J. Bratton will head a UC-sponsored investigation into the controversial pepper spraying of student protesters last week at UC Davis, university officials announced Tuesday.

Bratton is to lead an independent review of the incident and report results within a month, said UC President Mark G. Yudof. Bratton, who also served as police chief in New York City, now heads the New York-based Kroll security consulting firm.

The goal is to provide “an independent, unvarnished report about what happened at Davis,” Yudof said in a statement.

The results are "Lt. John Pike pepper sprayed a bunch of students sitting on the sidewalk like they were offending weeds growing between the cracks" and that Chancellet Linda Katehi should resign.  It's not really that hard, guys.  Katehi's too busy blaming her campus police to take responsibility.  Funny how that works.

Sheesh.
