Thread:Comments:California campus pepper spray police suspended/This doesn't make any sense/reply (3)

The title reflects the first sentence of the lede, so I dispute your characterisation of the change. The consequence of pepper-spraying non-violent protesters is that the police officers have been suspended.

That these police officers have been suspended is certainly news. Many of the other heavy-handed tactics relating to "Occupy" protests have seen no sanctions whatsoever against police, or authorities ordering such 'brutal' tactics.

Now, please demonstrate your superior news-production skills by contributing an article? There's an awful lot of news relating to the Occupy movement, and tactics similar to this pepper spraying incident. Alternately, you might want to back up your assertions relating to "standard police procedures" on the talk page of the article, then point the original author at them. Either action would be more productive and lead to longer-term improvements in Wikinews articles.
