Yes, Because There Is A Limit To How Wide Crazy Can Be, But Not How Deep It Can Go
Holy pepper spray in a can.
Remember the cop who purposefully walked down the line of protesting kids and sprayed them all with pepper spray?
Well, come to find out, he was not crazy when he did it, but that all those hurt kids made him crazy afterwards.
The former police lieutenant who became the target of worldwide ire after dousing Occupy UC Davis protesters with pepper spray, John Pike, is appealing for worker’s compensation, claiming psychiatric injury caused by the Nov. 18, 2011, incident.
Dude. Really? Crazy didn’t make you do this? All those internet memes hurt you and made you crazy?
Pike, whose annual salary was $121,680, remained on paid leave for eight months while the pepper-spraying was investigated.
Eight months?
So you could practice this?
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Let me see:
“I did something heinous and was fired – so now I need workman’s comp because my feelings are hurt because people think I am despicable.”
Is that about right?
1Unfortunately, he wasn’t fired…just given an eight month paid vacation.
2I hope the kids that were pepper sprayed sue him for all he’s worth if he gets disability.
3I expect the masses on the far Right to tell Mr Pike suck it up and accept personal responsibility for his actions in 3…2…oh crap… never mind.
Authoritarian bullies never accept personal responsibility for anything.
4That incident happened in November 2011 – and then the 8 month leave happened, after major public protests. He was fired in August 2012.
5Isn’t this an awfully nanny-state thing for a macho man to do?
6He should let free enterprise solve his financial problems after getting fired. Start a line of:
7Cap’t Pike’s Caa-razzy Hot Sauce.
“So hot – – you’d have to be caa-razzy to use it.”
In spray bottles of course. He could advertise on Fox News (sorry Rush.)
He got his itty bitty feelings hurt? Poor baby. What kind of aftereffects do pepper sprays have on eyes? I thought the whole thing about protests is we’re supposed to coordinate stuff with the police so nobody gets excited and does something dangerous. Google side effects of pepper sprays. Mostly they will subside but if you have problems breathing anyway it could be really really bad if it gets down your throat.
8Um, can I point out a little, itty-bitty detail that I didn’t know when I first heard this story? Look at the photo above. Look BEHIND the sprayer. Do I see TWO more officers who are apparently ignoring (thus allowing) this guy to pepper spray these peaceful protesters? What, did they think it was air freshener?
What’s happening to these clowns?
9Workers Compensation – No! Pike, loose weight.
10Next up: George Zimmerman seeks compensation for being separated from his beloved pistol.
11This guy should never be near a badge or a gun. A little bit of power brings out the beast in some men. Overcompensation at its worst.
12Can being on Workman’s Comp, or Disability …. compel that he be committed for treatment for mental health disorders??
If if can, it should.
13This little tinpot dictator deserves psychiatric injury.
14Mental health disorder? Its his conscience that’s giving him a hurtin’!
15So he’s got problems? He’s not sick with remorse, is he? I didn’t think so.
I’m sick with disgust.
16Assuming he has one, his conscience should be assuaged with a salve of hot tar and buzzard feathers.
The sort of person who gives jackanapes and bad name…
17ANYBODY that has been to the town of Davis in California which is the main town for UCD knows that this was a travesty of the first degree. This was a NON violent protest by students that are mostly Ag, Vet, Medical and Law students.
18Davis is a lovely community with great cafes, music and most people ride bicycles. Very green and has been for years.
Shameful for this “persons” actions…..doesn’t even cover it.
