And passed around to spray cops from different angles?
Just saw on CNN video.

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

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.
