Pepper's Last Hurrah?

You might have thought you had heard the last of the UC-Davis pepper spray incident a long time ago.  Not so, apparently.  The Sacramento Bee has won a court case involving disclosure of the names of police officers in that incident that had been redacted from the official UC report on the events.  The university originally wanted to release an unredacted version but was prevented from doing so by litigation filed by the union representing police.

Now the names are public.  The Bee also released excerpts from confidential interviews with police officers involved after the event.
