I haven’t seen this in the US press:

Pepper-sprayed for protesting: 30 students left ‘choking’ after being doused by police at tuition fees demo

Campus police pepper-sprayed as many as 30 demonstrators after Santa Monica College students angry over a plan to offer high-priced courses tried to push their way into a trustees meeting.

Raw video posted on the Internet showed students chanting ‘Let us in, let us in’ and ‘No cuts, no fees, education should be free.’

Students were angry because only a handful were allowed into the meeting room, and when their request to move the meeting to a larger venue was denied, they began to enter the building, said David Steinman, an environmental advocate who is running for Congress as a Green Party candidate.

Two officers were apparently backed up against a wall, and began using force to keep the students out of the room. Steinman said both officers used pepper spray.

They brought milk with them so someone had an idea they might get pepper-sprayed. Proper Planning and all that.
