I find it interesting that only one person is being sprayed, and not the entire crowd. I would think if the crowd was the target the crowd would get sprayed and not just one person.


In the UC-Davis protest in California, where the cop sprayed a sitting crowd, they were outnumbered 10-to-1 by protestors, and at one point the OWS crowd intimidatingly encircled and closed in on the few officers there, not allowing the officers to leave or move around. I saw video of this.

At that point, they ordered the crowd to move or be arrested.
When the crowd would not move, they pepper-sprayed them with a mild solution of pepper spray, then arrested them one by one.

Even the best-case pro-OWS spin shows the protesters were repeatedly warned, did not comply, and resisted arrest.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
