<p>Sometimes I am in such awe of people. “Oh! He’s white she’s black. Oh, she’s so small and he’s so big!” Come on - would it have been better if it was a black cop? Maybe we should just have black cops patrol black areas and white cops patrol white areas? Hm, how racist would that be? </p>
<p>Has anyone on this forum ever been pepper sprayed or felt anything like it? When I went to basic training we had to inhale the stuff to know exactly what it felt like. At least five times since then while on training patrols they’ve thrown cans of the stuff in our path to make sure that we were proficient with our gas masks. It sucks but it’s not horrible. Each time I was fine after no longer than 10-15 minutes and if your nose was stuffed before it surely wasn’t afterwards. </p>
<p>Yes, he smacked her in the face. SHE BIT HIM FIRST. I don’t care who you are but if you bite me in the arm I’m going to react and smack away what is causing the harm. You can be an 80 year old frail woman and I’m going to smack you - DON’T BITE PEOPLE. </p>
<p>I don’t like cops for the most part and I usually let them them know with a middle finger as I drive by but this guy didn’t do anything wrong. He was looking at the camera with an exasperated look, almost as if saying, “I do not want to be here. I am playing by the book. I am not breaking any rules.” And you know what? He didn’t break any rules. He was trying to make an arrest. He was calm, his voice was clear and steady, his commands were easy to understand. </p>
<p>If she believes that her arrest was unjust then she needs to fight that in court but now she will have to face multiple charges. </p>

<p>No, I don’t think it’s hilarious - he obviously wasn’t using full force against her.</p>
<p>Did she honestly believe that by screaming, resisting arrest and saying, “Sorry!” and “Mommy!” he would let her go? Even after she BIT him?</p>
