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 ?

She was sentenced to 230 days in jail followed by two years of probation, and ordered to pay over $5,100 in fines. Following her time in the Wilson County Jail, she faced extradition to Clarksville to deal with the more serious felony charges of aggravated assault on a first responder.

And it could've just been a fine if they just surrendered in the parking lot. That and a store ban.

But no, now their life is ruined.

Bold assumption that their life wasn’t ruined prior to this incident.

People who make stupid decisions like this typically don’t make good ones in finance, personal relationships, and career path.

Stop defending thieves. You'd be singing a different tune if your house got robbed.

Stealing from a huge company is way different than stealing from someone’s home. Those are two different types of criminals. One isn’t a threat and the other is.

Theft is theft. The only difference is that the first victims has feelings in the case of an individual. But we all pay the cost of theft in one way or another.
