Artist's inventive take on infamous Occupy protest mocks cops (+Pictures)

[beer]

The UC-Davis pepper spray incident was branded as one of the worst displays of excessive force on Occupy protesters,but an artist is using his talents to turn the tables on the spray-happy campus cops.

In his latest photo project, titled 'Occupied', Los Angeles based photographer Tyler Shields captures two blonde bombshells turning the guns on a team of SWAT officers.

Recreating the shocking images from the November protest, one of the scantily clad models unleashes burning yellow pepper spray on a number 'officers' dressed in full SWAT gear as they stage a peaceful sit-in.

In this new set of photos, Francesca Eastwood and Alessandra Torressani pose in sexy one-pieces and high heels as they appear to beat the police officers with batons and blind them with pepper spray.

In one image, the 'female protester' slams a policeman against the bonnet of a car, in another she kneels on the back of a 'helpless' officer holding a baton to his head.

Even though the half-naked models are a far cry from the traditional protestor seen during Occupy demonstrations, the pictures go some way to relieving the aggression felt by most after seeing the horrific images of police brutality last month.

On his website, Shields said; 'It’s easy to be the bully but it’s not so fun when you’re the one being bullied. Stand up and fight for what you believe in a dream can only die if you let it.'

He adds: 'This was just about as crazy as it looks and yes we used real pepper spray which is no joke Trust me you do not want to be sprayed in the face!'

In an interview with LA weekly, Shields said he had had a mixed response to the reverse-brutality shoot.

'It's interesting because some people who I maybe thought wouldn't be as into it, are," he told the Weekly.

'A lot of girls have written me like, 'This is amazing, I love this.''

A real police officer who saw the photo project emailed Shield saying 'I guess if I had to be mased, I wouldn't mind being mased by those girls.'

Shields is well known for his shoots which created a murderous Lindsay Lohan and pictured a naked Mischa Barton eating raw meat.

The University of California Davis officer, Lt John Pike sparked worldwide outrage when he was pictured, dressed in full riot gear, casually spraying an orange cloud at the faces of protesters who were sitting peacefully on the ground.

The photograph has been seared into the public consciousness, with photo-shopped images of Pike pepper-spraying other things - like Mt. Rushmore and even Jesus in Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' - going viral.

Shamed by the debacle, the University placed Pike and another officer on administrative leave.
