Get the vegan kind. And use it outdoors.
ETA- looks like anybody could make the raw extract.
Did I say it was to be a partial or conditional report? Full report. My desk. Tuesday.
Wimp. And get the stuff dissolved in propylene glycol. That stuff is used in foods so much it almost qualifies as food itself.
There’s actually several videos of people doing this. Here’s one where she dumps the whole pepper spray onto her sub.
The two key points from the news reports are first, that he was a backup officer on the traffic stop, hence the arguments here that he couldn’t possibly do it because the kid would have not noticed would not be valid.
Second, as I posted above, the news report says that the officer removed the pizza from the back seat.
The question comes down if his pepper spray device allows a really short burst or not.
I can see them realising the pizza is really hot and thinking someone in the pizza place has either mistaken their order or purposely messed with them and just deciding to go ahead and eating it because a. they are hungry and b. eating really hot stuff is macho. Then when their reaction to what they have eaten goes over and above what could be expected from whatever the pizza place had available realising that the cop was responsible.
I have to acknowledge my ignorance on the subject of pepper spray. I would have imagined that it could be sprayed in varying amounts - in a range from a very short burst to a long blast. I didn’t know that the amount sprayed by the cop in this scenario would necessarily be the same amount as someone using it in self-defense as presumably the folks here have experienced.
You learn something new each day.
Totally. They probably woke up in the middle of the night hungry and had to raid the fridge for some quiche.
The question still remains unanswered: can pepper spray be sprayed, even in the shortest of bursts, without creating a cloud of odor that would be detected by people in the vicinity?
We hold our breath (so to speak) for Musicat’s experiment.
Ever hear of The Munchies?
I guess we can ad pizza to the pepper spray cop meme
Why not save the snark for something that isn’t true? It would be ridiculous to try to split a pizza amongst five people. At most you split it in half with one other person. If you have more than that, you get pizzas, not just a single pizza. You definitely can’t divide it amongst five people–there aren’t enough slices, and you can’t reliably cut a slice in more than a half piece.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who went to college wouldn’t know this stuff.
Shut up, BigTard.
Bump?
I won’t be going to town to get pepper spray until Tuesday, so keep holding your breath. There are no corner drug stores (or any other kind of store) close to me.
And I don’t plan on spending a fortune on this project. If I can’t get something cheap that allows repeated, measured (by me) sprays and appears safe for experimentation, I won’t do it. If anyone else wants to try, I won’t be upset if you steal my thunder.
There’s weird things about the story as written (as I have said) but this is definitely not one of them. It depends on the size of the pizza. When we were teenagers, four or five of us would split a 16"-18" pizza all the time (more the latter size usually.)
This is Orange County, where the police are allowed to ejaculate onto people they pull over.
If they’re limiting themselves to pepper spray, sounds like they’ve tightened up the rules a bit.
I’m having trouble believing these guys ingested any pizza. Wouldn’t your mouth be on fire after the first bite? You’d spit it out?
I think the reporting was probably wrong in saying they ingested it. I’ve never eaten or come in contact with pepper spray of any sort. I’ve had capsaicin pepper extract sauces, and the stuff was wicked hot. I can’t see 5 people unknowingly eat a pizza that’s been sprayed with capsaicin, just because one person would react to it immediately and the rest wouldn’t eat it. What I think is more likely maybe one of them smelled it, noticed the pepper spray and asked the others to smell it and see if there was anything wrong with it. The fumes gave them all burning sensations in their lungs (I don’t know if it’s possible for capsaicin to affect your lungs). The other possibility is they got the pepper spray on their skin when handling the pizza, but they didn’t actually eat it, or maybe just one or two ate some. You can’t wash it off and it burns for days. Which is why they use it in ben-gay like creams (dilluted considerably I believe).
I can’t believe the dude didn’t notice it before returning home, pepper spray gets EVERYWHERE is an enclosed space. Accidentally discharged one once indoors and people twenty feet away where coughing and gasping.
There is no way you could not notice if the pizza was sprayed inside the car.
