Sam Worthington got a little feisty outside a club in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend and his eyes have paid the piper.

The Australian actor was PEPPER SPRAYED by a doorman at Vortex and placed in handcuffs until cops arrived to charge him with disorderly conduct.

Worthington got so angry after he was denied entry into the establishment (because he was already too drunk and didn't have proper ID), that he pushed

Raymond Garcia had only one thought last week after encountering a red octagonal sign which read "STOP":

Hammer time!

The Roswell, NM dude literally beat the paint off a stop sign until law enforcement responded… and gave him human targets to wail on!

Usually when police tell a man defacing public property to stop in the name of love the law, citizens collaborate and listen!

Guess this Ray is different than most!

Ch-ch-check out the totally cray account (above) of how neither police batons, pepper spray, nor even the knowledge that engaging an inanimate object in fisticuffs is a lose/lose battle could stop Raymond from waging war in his least favorite intersection!

The stop sign could not be reached for comment.

What is going on in this world?!

Police pepper spraying peaceful OWS protestors, women pepper spraying Black Friday shoppers, and now a 14-year-old teen has pepper sprayed her classmates at school, sending eight students to the hospital with minor injuries.

During school hours at the W. 129th St. school, the eight students were rushed to the hospital after they inhaled the noxious chemicals found in the pepper spray.

A summons was issued to the student, but no word on whether or not, she was charged.

In other news, only 73% the students at this particular school in Harlem said that they felt safe in the hallways and bathrooms at their school.

That is not good. Not good at all.

Now, before we get into this, we don't want to generalize the whole of Black Friday shoppers due to the actions of the crazy minority. But…

That being said, Black Friday is a setting some MAJOR shenanigans! A shopper used pepper spray to get their goods in a Los Angeles Wal-Mart late Thursday night.

The crowds looked like that of a music festival so most people didn't even realize what was going on until

Has it really come to this?

This is so incredibly tragic…

Jennifer Fox, a pregnant woman, who was at the Occupy Seattle encampment, was hit with pepper spray and kicked in the stomach by Seattle police during Tuesday's protest.

The woman tragically miscarried after the incident.

She is now speaking out about what happened:

Thankfully, something is being done.

Yesterday, we showed you the disturbing and SHOCKING video (above) of police pepper spraying non-violent protestors at the Occupy movement on the UC Davis campus.

UC Davis Chanceloor Linda Katehi said she shared the "outrage" of students and was "deeply saddened" by the actions of the police.

She added:

We can't even begin to tell how absolutely disgusting and infuriating it is to see this kind of flagrant abuse of power.

Watch this truly disturbing video (above) from University of California Davis yesterday, which features police not only tearing down the tents of students partaking in the Occupy movement, but also Police Lt. John Pike walking down a line of students seated on the ground in an act of NONVIOLENT civil disobedience and - we can't even believe this actually happened - SPRAYING THEM DIRECTLY IN THE FACE WITH PEPPER SPRAY, which left at least one woman hospitalized with chemical burns.

WARNING: THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WATCH.

There's no other way to describe this as anything other than police brutality.

And our country is far worse off than we could have ever imagined if this sort of behavior is allowed and ENCOURAGED by our government.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those young people who bravely and unrelentingly faced this abuse, and everyone who stood by, documented it, and said what we wish we had been there to say ourselves:

SHAME ON YOU.
