You know how the could avoid pain altogether? They could surrender and move when they are told to move. No pain at all, that way. Everybody’s happy!
But thing is, they don’t want that. They want the violence. (wrestling them apart is still violent) How else are they gonna get on TV?
The pepper spray does hurt. But it does no lasting damage.
I took this to mean that the 11 officers comprised of 4 security, 6 paramedics and a Metro officer as i’m pretty sure that 22 people would not show up to tackle 1 guy or even be able to struggle with him if they did unless they took it in turns.
