Among the other findings in the report:

The incident was not managed according to plan.
The pepper spray used (MK-9) was not an authorized weapon for UC Davis police offiers and officers were not trained in how to use it.
Chancellor Katehi bears responsibility for deploying police at 3 p.m. to remove tents rather than earlier in the day or the night before
Chancellor Katehi bears primary responsibility for failing to communicate her position that physical force should be avoided.
Lt. JPike bears responsibility for the use of pepper spray on the students.

I hope they sue the chancellor personally. I also hope that they have criminal penalties as well.
