UC Davis continues to try to make amends for its pepper-spray YouTube sensation. The school says it will pick up any medical bills incurred by the students who got doused, along with dropping the misdemeanor charges against them, reports CNN. The university also is setting up the obligatory review panel, as Chancellor Linda Katehi insists that officers defied her orders not to use force, notes the Sacramento Bee. The main officer, involved, meanwhile faces the wrath of Anonymous.
