You didn't see any of the stuff I thought I saw on the video ? Didn't phones and cameras suddenly appear ? Didn't the women get heavy into the screeching? ...Sure looked and sounded like it to me !

Go get yourself sprayed by pepper spray, police grade pepper spray,,,,or better yet have one of the women in your family volunteer for a sneak spray from behind. Report back here with your findings. This women was blinded for 45 minutes from the cowardly sneak attack. Attacks similar to the kind Sgt Bologna has been previously indicted.
This women was identified as a leader of the demonstration and so was fence/corralled by the PD, she speaks very lucidly and had given interviews. The PD would not allow the demonstrators to talk to observors or passerbys. This happen to my party on Sat and we were not allowed to converse with the demonstrators to find out what was up...I was just up the street from where/when this women got sprayed and heard the commotion and heard the shouts that PD is spraying people now, up to that point there had been casual milling around and a organized march up the street, then all hell broke loose to disperse the march...this was a police incited riot as usual...even so the demonstrators reacted rather passively ...Every 4th person there had some kind of video camera or camera...some very impressive video equipement I would add. It is not illegal to own or carry video equipment or cell phones....YET!
Actually, IG, I believe if you review the actual slo-mo video of Bologna spraying this women you will agree that this was a totally unwarranted sneak attack. Even the 'blue shirts' are have a look of what-the-heck on their faces....I have faith in you to recognize this action for what it was...
Meanwhile, thousands more seem to be joining the demonstration/rebellion...including united transportation workers..

TM answers; point by point..
Many of us have gone through the military gas chambers..and many more than once. These sprays are no more harmful than tear gas. Darned uncomfortable while you're getting a dose, but no long-term effects. With tear gas one has to remember to not rub their eyes..but you stlill cry like ababy, slobber, nose runs and perhaps you puke. I've never had a run-in with police, but I expect pepper spray would be similar, with NO RESIDUAL effects. Thus no big deal..if you asked for it..suck it up and take it !
That is why I would not have any female family members volunteer for pepper spray OR tear gas..and that is just what those demonstrators/rioters weren doing...volunteering and begging for some pepper spray ! They should just, "suck it up".
Candidly... If a woman wants to be treated like a lady, It is always a great idea to act like a lady.
As far as a "sneak attack", they could have been facing the cop..their choice..Probably better if they faced away..protects their eyes.
I did see a spray plume, but I didn't see it hit the back-pack gal or the gray-strap T-shirt gal hit, seems like the spray was on the far side of them..of course the videographer was unstable and may have missed that part
As far as hitting this woman because she was identified as the leader...That was a smart move by the police..a much better chance of cooling the crowd of rioters down.
