Former UC Davis police officer John Pike, known for pepper-spraying student protesters in 2011, was awarded a $38,000 workers' compensation settlement for depression and anxiety. This amount exceeds the $30,000 in damages received by each of the protesters he sprayed. In other financial news, Mark Zuckerberg's 2012 compensation package was valued at $2.3 billion, roughly $30,000 every seven minutes.

The hosts discuss the viral video of Lt. John Pike pepper-spraying students at UC Davis. They mock Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly for her comment that pepper spray is "a food product, essentially." They describe the nonchalant attitude of the officer and the resulting internet memes featuring the "casually peppering cop."

Police at the University of California, Davis, used military-grade pepper spray on a group of seated student protesters who had locked arms. Video footage shows an officer casually spraying the students at close range, leading to several hospitalizations. The Chancellor of the university, Linda Katehi, faced calls for resignation following her request for a 90-day study rather than immediate disciplinary action.

NBC's Brian Williams and military expert John Pike report on the Pentagon's insistence that the California "missile" was actually a jumbo jet. Critics argue the slow speed and course changes suggest a commercial flight, though skeptics point out the lack of radar data for a specific flight.
