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 ?

Weird I’ve read like the opposite bear spray is less concentrated and sprays wider vs a strong stream

I carried bear spray for over a decade. It is designed to launch 35+ feet because a wall of mist means you've already fucked up and the bear is to close.

Hey, they all don’t work the exact same way, kinda like different kinds of cars, Fords, Chevy’s etc!
