USC's Right to Party vs. LAPD Riot Control
Not exactly the Rodney King L.A. riots, but drunk University of Southern California students staged a 100-person "sit-in" at a rowdy block party this weekend. According to the Daily Trojan, nine people were arrested after at least 75 Los Angeles Police Department officers in riot gear used clubs, smoke bombs, Tasers, and pepper-ball guns to control a crowd that ballooned to around 1,000 partygoers.
"Two cop cars were in the middle of the street and people were dancing and singing around them," said a USC senior. "When the cops told us to leave, we staged a sit-in. They just sat on the street and refused to leave." Fight the power, dude. Fight the power.

usc party
There were actually about 100 cops vs. 1500 students. Campus officers were unable to control the crowd so they asked LAPD for assistance. When LAPD arrived, students began throwing bottles, so back-up was called. Calling it a "sit-in" implies that there was some type of point to be made. In actuality it was just a bunch of dumb drunk college kids that didn't know when to call it quits.
Immature Students
What a bunch of immature, rich, spoiled children who are students at USC. Their parents should be ashamed how they were raised to disrespect the law. I've heard of students who attend parties and USC and all they do is get drunk and act destructively. They need mental therapy and find out what mommy and daddy did to them as children that has caused such bitterness in them as adults.
