(11,065 posts)She sprayed EVERYONE or did you not bother to watch the video of what happened particularly the wide angle one I posted that showed what was going on behind that police line and what the crowd in front of the police line were doing before she lost her mind with the spray after that crowd she had sprayed at had mostly dispersed and were so far away that the spray didn't even reach them? Just looking at the still photo it's clear that she aimed the spray directly into the face of the woman walking beside the man on the phone (who is white), doused him as well and then sprayed willy-nilly at the whole crowd of people in front of her as if it were air freshener. She narrowly missed hosing one of the officers beside her as well. Calling this racism and imagining that she had a clue in the world who the guy was that was on the phone is ludicrous.
The whole POINT to what she did is that she DID NOT discriminate as to who she sprayed and why. She freaked out and let loose on everyone with it even narrowly missing a fellow officer and by doing so showed that she isn't competent to handle this sort of situation as she couldn't control herself in the least as to who she sprayed and for what reason and AFTER the crowd in front of the police line had mostly dispersed and had backed off to such a degree that the spray she let loose on them with abandon didn't even reach them. Unfortunately, the man on the phone and the woman walking beside him were still close enough to get doused by her going berserk with the spray while dispersing and starting to travel down the sidewalk with a lot of other people dispersing.
