Yesterday Evergreen College--hippy dippy West Coast liberal arts alma matter of Simpsons creator Matt Groening--held a forum to address a riot that broke out last week during a dead prez concert on campus. In this video it looks like the kids are saying it didn't get violent until the SWAT team busted out the pepper spray. To be fair, the kids also boogled a laptop and a radar gun from one of the cruisers they trashed (seriously guys, the radar gun? Nice touch).

On the one hand, I can't help but feel like everyone lost in this situation: dead prez probably won't be booked for another college show any time soon; the Evergreen prez pretty much grounded the students after giving them a stern talking to; and I think we can all agree the pigs suffered a blow to their collective ego. But on the other hand, I mean come on, fuck the police! Tell me you don't just a little get a kick out of these pictures (and check it, at least they recycle!):
