Christopher Edley quoted in Los Angeles Times, L.A. NOW, March 28, 2012
Edley said his report does not investigate the UC Davis pepper-spray incident or the use of batons by UC Berkeley police on demonstrators the same month, although those controversies led to his study. Instead, he said his report is “forward looking” and will examine such issues as freedom of expression, police training, de-escalation techniques and develop recommendations for administrators, police and students.
