<p>My friend’s younger sister (she was probably about 5 or 6) sprayed pepper spray directly into her eyes…she was screaming in pain, people were freaking out, 911 was called. When the paramedics arrived, they calmed everyone down, gave the girl a popsicle, and left. </p>
<p>People who say this is “police brutality” are laughable. People who make this a race issue? Even more annoying. </p>
<p>The girl was seriously acting like she was on drugs. Her behavior was so, so incredibly uncalled for. I have had friends who have freaked out when arrested, be it crying or even running from the police. Sometimes, the police are in the wrong. But screaming, twisting, and biting when apprehended? That’s insane. The policeman was very swift and professional. Had he tried to wrestle or overpower her, it is likely she would have been seriously injured. The pepper spray was the appropriate response to protect both the officer and the girl.</p>
