pepper spray cop contact info revealed
A rogue computer hacking group has posted online the personal contact details – including his home address – of the police officer who pepper-sprayed peaceful student Occupy protesters.
Anonymous also disclosed the mobile telephone number and email address of Lt John Pike on a YouTube video.
The University of California Davis officer sparked worldwide outrage when he was seen, clad in riot gear, casually spraying an orange cloud at the heads of protesters, over the weekend.
My Telephone number is 530-979-0184
A computer-generated voice in the video, posted on Tuesday, said: ‘Dear Officer John Pike. Your information is now public domain’. It has since been removed because it is ‘a violation of YouTube’s policy prohibiting hate speech’.
Anonymous has threatened or claimed credit for attacks on numerous media organizations, including Fox News – but this appears to be the first time the hacking group has targeted an individual. The group said: ‘We have no problem targeting police and releasing their information even if it puts them at risk. We want them to experience just a taste of the brutality and misery they serve us on an everyday basis.’
I’m not saying that anyone should crank call him or anything..but here’s what this prick did to a bunch of peaceful campus protesters ….
Please do not call him and tell him he is a fucking piece of shit.... at 530-979-0184

Harvard students set up Occupy protest
Some unhappy the way Harvard spends its money
CAMBRIDGE (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – Going from Dewey Square to Harvard Yard as Occupy protesters set up camp at the legendary Ivy League school. Tents began popping up in the yard Wednesday night, where students of the Cambridge school rallied earlier in the day.
About 350 people gathering outside in Harvard Square, waiving signs and at one point, security was checking IDs at the yard’s gate.
Students are demanding a new contract for custodial workers and are unhappy with the way Harvard spends some of its money. They believe Harvard’s $32 billion endowment has supported questionable policies, and should bear more social responsibility.
“Personally, I’m slightly uncomfortable receiving money in scholarships that come from a direct result of displacing people and depriving them of their lands and their livelihoods,” said Reed McConnell, a Harvard Freshman.
“I love the scholarship money I am getting from Harvard but I don’t want the money coming from expense of somebody who is getting their land taken away” says Reed.
When asked if she’d rather take out loans, McConnell says “The way I see it, I shouldn’t have to. Harvard should be able to make socially responsible investments and earn the same returns and still be able to give incredible financial aid.”
Harvard released a statement, saying free speech is a hallmark of the university to uphold, but will also ensure the safety of its students, especially those who live in the yard.
Hundreds of protesters marched out of Harvard Yard and into Mass Ave Wednesday, stopping traffic in Harvard Square and taking over the street in what appeared to be an impromptu march.
Protesters held signs reading “We want a University for the 99 percent.” Other groups, like ‘Justice for Janitors’ joined in the march as well.
“It just shows how this movement can proliferate,” said Jason Rowe, a Harvard student.
Harvard’s own web site says the school costs more than $52,000 a year for room, board, tuition and fees combined. It also says more than 60-percent of Harvard college students receive financial aid. The average grant this year was $40,000.
Several days ago, 70 students walked out of an economics class at Harvard University and joined with Occupy Boston to protest the way Harvard invests its endowment.
