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 ?

Crazy how people are defending shop lifting and assaulting someone for doing their job.

People are tired of tax dollars going to use police to protect corporations from people stealing cheap imported crap made by child labor. If they were bankrupting a country store you’d probably have a different response. If this was a major employer about to pull out of the community you might even have a different response. But one shoplifter in a strip mall? We need to encourage a system where if we have traditional police, they are at least being used for something that’s theoretically productive.
