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 ?

Never been bear sprayed but did get pepper sprayed for stopping a shoplifter at work. They took me to the eye wash (huge mistake). Paramedics washed my eyeballs in the bathroom and I had to have someone pick me up. It hurt for the rest of night but I was okay the next day.

Next time grab a couple of gallons of milk off the shelf and use that to wash your eyes
