In May 1969 a National Guard helicopter hung over the campus of UC Berkeley, spraying protesters with tear gas, part of the crackdown on demonstrations over 'People's Park.'
Gov. Ronald Reagan, in response to protests at Berkeley, criticized universities for letting young people believe they could choose the laws to obey in the name of social protest.
In contrast, Gov. Gavin Newsom's reaction to recent student uprisings in California involves behind-the-scenes meetings with officials, condemnation of violence, and support for police actions without militarized involvement.
