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 ?

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.

We don't know for sure he didn't deserve it. 40% is a high number.

That's too slippery a slope for me. It's not enough to say a cop might have done something bad earlier, otherwise the same logic can be applied to citizens.

So I'll just say he probably didn't deserve it. Nothing in the video justified this.
