UC officials release thousands of documents related to Davis pepper spraying incident


From the Sacramento Bee:
Nearly a year after police pepper sprayed protesting students at the University of California, Davis, UC officials today released thousands of pages of internal documents and emails related to the aftermath of the incident.
The document release comes in response to Public Records Act requests from The Bee and numerous other media organizations that were filed immediately following the Nov. 18 incident. However, disclosure of the documents was delayed while university officials said internal reviews of the matter and a criminal investigation was conducted...
[The documents described above do not seem to be on the UC-Davis or UCOP websites as of 10:30 am today.]

UPDATE: The documents are now (10-10-12) posted by the Sacramento Bee at
