Treesit Blog: VICTORY FOR THE PEPPER SPRAY 8!!

"A unanimous jury found that Humboldt County Sheriffs and the City of Eureka Police used unreasonable force when they applied pepper spray by q-tip to the eyes of peaceful protestors who staged sit-ins in 1997 to protest the cutting of ancient redwoods.
