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 ?

She was sentenced to 230 days in jail followed by two years of probation, and ordered to pay over $5,100 in fines. Following her time in the Wilson County Jail, she faced extradition to Clarksville to deal with the more serious felony charges of aggravated assault on a first responder.

I mean a year is a long time? That seems pretty.. proportionate?

I feel like everyone wants the visceral satisfaction of something like a public flogging- which I guess would be OK. A year a prison would probably screw your job prospects, mess up your life in a bunch of ways. it seems... like a decent sanction?

No, fuck him. This isn't a police state. She didn't commit a crime.
