Quote Of The Day: Nathan Brown, Nontenured UC Davis Asst. Professor

Open Letter to Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi

Linda P.B. Katehi,

I am a junior faculty member at UC Davis. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English, and I teach in the Program in Critical Theory and in Science & Technology Studies. I have a strong record of research, teaching, and service. I am currently a Board Member of the Davis Faculty Association. I have also taken an active role in supporting the student movement to defend public education on our campus and throughout the UC system. In a word: I am the sort of young faculty member, like many of my colleagues, this campus needs. I am an asset to the University of California at Davis.

You are not.

Enough With The Police Brutality

I mean, seriously.

The next time they might not get their moment of peace. People are getting pissed, and hurt, and more pissed.

The chief says the pigs police were concerned for their own safety. Pussies. Or preservationists?

Who do you serve, cops?

"We're giving you a moment of peace. You can go."

Um, fucking awesome. Worth all 8 minutes.

Fuck the police. Gently.
