VIDEO: 4-way footage of UC Davis pepper spraying

WASHINGTON — A flurry of viral videos of the UC Davis protest has spread through the Internet since last Friday, when a campus security officer summarily pepper sprayed a line of seated, peaceable students.

The footage shows two officers spraying students with the chemical agent as the crowd cries out, then a slight delay before police start hauling off some of those seated while other protesters cough violently and try to crawl away.

The protest was held in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement and in solidarity with protesters at the University of California, Berkeley who were struck by police with batons on Nov. 9.

Check out this compiled footage from four separate videos, providing different angles on the incident:
