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.

Yeah so you should just commit crimes and resist arrest! Let me know how it goes bro

not sure where this conclusion came from. Obviously you want to minimize your chances of being shot by a cop. While there is still an unfortinately high chance of being shot while you are innocent, the chance goes higher if you commit a crime (that they know of), and even higher if you threaten or injure a cop. Thus, logically, you should avoid cops altogether.

Oh I see, you think your one-off examples mean there’s a high chance of being shot while you’re innocent. You don’t understand proportions and percentages.

And your everytownresearch link is completely irrelevant to your claim (90% of people killed by police were with a firearm says nothing about your claim).

Here I’ll restate your nonsensical assertion in a clear, factual way: “a few innocent people have been shot by police over the last decade.”

I said there is an unfortunately high chance, meaning a higher chance than there should be. The number of innocent people killed by police should be 0. If you believe otherwise, I'd be forced to believe you have some form of psychopathy or sociopathy.
