I though cops //theoretically// weren't allowed on campus?
It seems that an exception to the rule is if the university calls them.
Last week[1] students at my university (in Montreal), went into the Administration building and tried to occupy the offices of the principal. This is, apparently[2], something we have a tradition of doing every time someone tries to increase the tuition fees.
Long story short, campus security didn't know what to do, there was also a bit of a hostage situation[3] going on, and
so the cops were called. (By whom?) The the cops called the riot squad and then batons and pepper spray ensued.
Speaking of which, does anybody know what the cops spray people with?
If you have a bottle of water with you and you wash your eyes are you OK? Or do you need another solution?
