Point taken. I'm just amazed that just because a random cop shat that load of bull out of his mouth, G-Man takes it as the definitive word on the matter.
I've seen several statements by legal pundits that say these cops gave warning and were just using minor amounts of pepper spray to insure compliance.
I had a friend who had a brief period as an orderly at a mental facility, and told me how he left. He was transporting a patient who seemed harmless, and as the guy was walking a step or two in front of him, the patient whipped around and elbowed him in the jaw, and broke his jaw. He went through five years and several surgeries until he was finally back to normal. And said he never went back to work there. (When I later knew him, he worked several years for the IRS, then started an antique furniture retail business)
That's an example of what can happen for police as well, in an arrest situation.
