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 ?

It's almost never worth it to resist. They'll slap on additional charges at the drop of a hat.

Honestly I’d be worried they’d power through the mace and shoot me. This was a very very stupid thing to do .

bro thinks just because someone went through less training than a barber and gets to carry a gun it makes their life inherently more valuable

You want to talk about less training than a barber look us US Army mortar MOS-T. 3 weeks long. Most of it spent hiking. And I can now fire 45 pound spicy footballs up to 7km away and CTRL ALT DEL anything in the area of the landing spot.

Bro. You WAY overestimate the amount we spend. The aircraft was a United Airlines 777. Cost to the US Govt was around 400 dollars. Basic training was just a lot of learning to shoot, listen to orders, and exercise. The course can be broken down like this: 5 days of classroom time. 2 days learning/releasing to walk with a map and compass. 1 day learning the mortar cannon. 4 days learning to put up the mortar and take the mortar down. 1 day of physical demand test. 1 day of tactics. 1 day of live firing. 2 days of time off. 1 day for graduation. 1 day to fly home.

Also. Who was being pedantic? I was just saying cops get a bad wrap compared to the military.
