Anyone Else See The Industrial Bear Repellant Canister Being Sprayed On Police?

And passed around to spray cops from different angles?

Just saw on CNN video.

That stuff is nasty.

My respect for the Capitol Police who were hung out to dry just went up one notch.

or 'weaponless' isn't quite strictly true. Those police officers encountered quite a bit of 'assault with a weapon.' Just ask them.

You see them carrying bear spray in holsters at rallies.

Regardless, the scumbags sprayed plenty of bear mace into the faces of the cops, causing indescribable, agonizing pain. The fire extinguishers might not be much better. I don't know, having never been sprayed in the face with one. After the fire extinguishers were emptied, they were thrown at the police, or used to club them.

God damn every one of these deplorables to hell.
