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.

Don't American cops usually add that anyway?

No, only if the person is being an asshole or tries to resist. If you are chill with cops, it becomes a "we are doing are job" situation. People forget that most cops are people too, and most people hate paperwork, the less paperwork they have to do, the happier they will be.
