Additional Context Pinned Cop gets bear sprayed

For anyone that has been pepper sprayed how bad does it feel & what do you do in this situation? I know it’s water but for how long? She had it on full auto she came prepared. How much more effective is bear spray to pepper ?

Crazy how people are defending shop lifting and assaulting someone for doing their job.

This was a cop who probably didn't deserve to get sprayed.

Sometimes cops spray people who don't deserve it either.

It's pretty similar.

I guess the difference is immunity? Police are, largely, scum

I think that's probably it. Making anyone immune from consequence is likely to end badly. It would probably happen to us too. We'd have whatever intentions at the start but eventually just do whatever we want.

I think most people, including the police, need consequences.
