Amazon plays the op-ed card

I had no idea that Amazon.com was also in the political punditry business. See the red can the copper is using to spew pepper-spray on students in the above photo? Well, guess what? Amazon sells them for $74.79. And they're "In Stock!" As you probably know, the UC Davis campus police are under heavy fire for its gratuitous actions against peaceful protesters. Amazon opted to play its op-ed card by not removing satirical "Customer Reviews" such as the one below (entitled "Accept no substitutes when casually repressing students"):

"Whenever I need to breezily inflict discipline on unruly citizens, I know I can trust Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray to get the job done! The power of reason is no match for Defense Technology's superior repression power. When I reach for my can of Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray, I know that even the mighty First Amendment doesn't stand a chance against its many scovil units of civil rights suppression. When I feel threatened by students, no matter how unarmed, peaceful and seated they may be, I know that Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray has got my back as I casually spray away at point blank range. It really is the Cadillac of citizen repression technology. Buy a whole case!"

Heh. Happily, the offending cop (who remains unidentified) is getting keelhauled in the court of public opinion. He's now a meme that has gone viral on the Internet worldwide. He better pray that someone won't leak his name:
