More and more often the US has been showing a negative reputation to the international community. Sadly this is yet another proof the negativity has been rightly earned.

I want to one day be as proud of the administration of Berkeley as I am of its students and a step towards earning it back would be to suitably punish those administrators involved and get a full apology from Chancellor Birgeneau.

Watch the videos. you will understand why i am signing this petition. you should be ashamed of yourselves. Grabbing young women by the hair and throwing them on the ground when they said arrest me, and beating them with batons when they are trapped by bushes is excessive force. you will have lawsuits for this if you don't resolve people's issues.

Robert Birgeneau, you set a merciless army of thugs on your peaceful unarmed students and faculty. You are a criminal.
And you calling our passive actions "violent" is disgusting. My friend's crime was that he stayed still inside an area he was told to leave. Did this warrant his hospitalization?

In addition to supposedly being well-trained in crowd control capable of understanding what actions constitute threats, these officers are grown men who should understand that "just following orders" does not excuse them from moral accountability. Clearly, this is not the case, and the university administration should be calling for an investigation into these officers' actions.3

Birgeneau's justification of police violence towards students on the Berkeley campus during the protest on Nov 9, 2011 is a disgrace to the university. As chancellor, it is his responsibility to initiate investigation of what occurred out of safety concern for UCB students who were assaulted by police on campus without reason (standing and linking arms is not an act of violence and the police were not forced to use their batons). His defense of police brutality is an act of cowardice.

So do either of the following:
1) Condemn the violence of UCPD, start an official independent investigation and apologize to the UC Berkeley community.
2) State clearly that UC Berkeley chancellor officially condemns the Free Speech Movement and student activism from the 60's.
