The Reynoso Task Force has released its findings (pdf) on the UCDavis pepper spray incident: "There is little factual basis supporting Lt. Pike’s belief that he was trapped by the protesters or that his officers were prevented from leaving the Quad" ... "Further, there is little evidence that any protesters attempted to use violence against the police."The Modesto Bee writes that The report also found a "considerable lack of leadership" and "many breaches of protocol" in the way police handled the incident.

The report had been postponed in order to allow time for an appeal after the UC Davis Police union attempted to withhold portions of the report.
