I don’t know Lt. John Pike. But I can’t help making some guesses based on his behavior. I make some assumptions based on the casual, matter-of-fact tone with which he pepper-sprays those students. I don’t know how he feels about blacks, Mexicans or Arabs, although that lawsuit suggests something about how he regards gays. All of the evidence before me makes me believe that he’s a type I have known before, a man frustrated by his powerlessness in the face of social change that he feels threatens his place in society.

Thinkin your analysis is spot on, hoosierdaddy. Pike seemed glad to have a moment in which to abuse a bunch of college kids who were not a threat to anyone. Why, it's almost like he hates those kids and would abuse them any chance he got.
Lot of anger and insecurity there. No way in hell should he be in any position of authority.
By the way, glad to see you here. Don't get to read you often enough.
