New York (CNN) - Pepper spray can hurt, but online mockery stings for a lot longer.
First, an officer hosed down protestors with pepper spray, now he's getting hosed back, peppered with ridicule for "watering my hippies."
Now he's spraying everyone from Santa to Jesus at the last supper. He's spraying Lassie and he's spraying Snoopy.
He's become what's called a meme, an idea reproducing across the web, even spraying another meme, the keyboard cat.
He's spraying The Beatles on their Sergeant Pepper album; he's spraying to stop the flag raisers at Iwo Jima. His pepper spray replaces the torch on the Statue of Liberty, and he's spraying in famous paintings, at historic moments, at national monuments, and now we know why House Speaker John Boehner cries; he too has been pepper sprayed by the now infamous officer.
His name is Lieutenant John Pike, but he's been tagged with the nickname PepperSpray Pike. That's the name on his fake parody Twitter account, full of bellicose tweets.
"Wanna see the super committee do something? Give me 10 minutes with them in a locked room with spray," said the fake account.

Brave cop pepper sprays handcuffed and unarmed students for the good of his country.



The hacker group "Anonymous" went after Lieutenant Pike by publicizing his phone and address. Someone even created the "Pepper spray cop's lament."
When Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly described pepper spray this way, "It's like a derivative of actual pepper. It's a food product, essentially," she was mocked.
Kelly would probably like to eat her words, as long as they weren't seasoned with pepper spray.
On Amazon.com, critics are writing reviews of actual pepper spray, calling it the "Cadillac of citizen repression technology." Pepper spray is being aimed at old people and the Village People. It's even being shot up Marilyn Monroe's dress.
Anyone care to give thanks for pepper spray on Turkey Day?

What You Should Know About Pepper Spray, The ‘Food Product’ That Can Kill You


http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/39/2011/11/medium_ec9a570d51c7a6e887871490d3c100b7.jpg
Megyn Kelly's claim (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/11/22/fox-news-host-megyn-kelly-calls-pepper-spray-a-food-product/) that pepper spray is "a food product, essentially" has quickly become infamous. Let's take a look at the ways this "food product" fucks people up.


Deborah Blum of Scientific American points out (http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2011/11/21/about-pepper-spray/) that pepper spray is indeed made of capsaicins, the same compounds found in peppers, which are foods. However, the police-grade spray is nearly five and a half times hotter than the hottest known pepper, the ghost chili. This chili has itself been likened (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20058096/ns/health-diet_and_nutrition/t/think-you-can-handle-spicy-try-ghost-chili/#.Tsv26XFpc5-) to "a cocktail of battery acid and glass shards."
UC Davis student David Buscho, who was pepper-sprayed while protesting on Friday, says (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/11/uc-davis-student-pepper-spray-like-hot-glass-was-entering-my-eyes.html), "It felt like hot glass was entering my eyes." See a pattern here?
Blum also notes that repeated pepper-spray exposure can cause corneal damage. Buscho told (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jKvf7nP1OnRlnopsb9mXt9MOb7KQ?docId=4fc70a7b6 80c40a0bac68efe25c00159) the AP, "I had my arms around my girlfriend. I just kissed her on the forehead and then he sprayed us. Immediately, we were blinded ... He just sprayed us again and again [...]"
A 1995 ACLU report found that pepper spray was associated with 26 deaths in California between 1993 and 1995 — that is, about 1 in every 600 people sprayed by California cops died. Most had pre-existing conditions like asthma, but the report notes, "these findings suggest that pepper spray may be a serious complicating factor when it is used on people with cardiovascular or cardiorespiratory disease — individuals police might not be able to recognize readily in an emergency situation."
The ACLU report cites a 1993 US Army study which found that pepper spray's active ingredient "is capable of producing mutagenic and carcinogenic effects, sensitization, cardiovascular and pulmonary toxicity, neurotoxicity, as well as possible human fatalities."
According to Discovery News (http://news.discovery.com/human/pepper-spray-111121.html), pepper spray is banned for military use overseas by the Chemical Weapons Convention (http://www.opcw.org/chemical-weapons-convention/), which prohibits the use of "any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals."

So basically, pepper spray is a "food product" that could cause cancer, eye damage, and/or death, and feels like molten glass in your face. Who wants some?

I agree, bullies like this see themselves as Rambo doing God's work.

[Awoke]

I agree the pics are funny, but don't let the funny pictures distract you from the true crime.

The NWO pig peppersprayed a pile of handcuffed hippies. Totally uncalled for. My first thought when I saw this meme go viral was that it was started by one of the PTB agents in order to immediately make an unacceptable occurance become "funny".

It's programming, IMO.

My first thought when I saw this meme go viral was that it was started by one of the PTB agents in order to immediately make an unacceptable occurance become "funny".

That's an interesting thought! But when I showed the photos to one of my sisters-in-law she was highly offended, which made me offended.

In her mind, cops shouldn't ever be ridiculed like this, and she couldn't even listen to the why of it all. I know, "don't talk to sheeple," etc. etc.

[Awoke]

I guess you should have just showed her the original pics of the NWO Pig pepperspraying the defenseless, handcuffed people.

Maybe then she would have been offended for the right reasons.

[k-os]

Awoke, you are probably right about the programming. But damn, some of those images are really funny! I like the baby seal one the best, I think.

They just don't believe that the police would act violently without strong provocation; if the police were called in to a situation, there must be a good reason for them to be present.

And they think that people shouldn't make public nuisances of themselves like these OWS protesters are.

They should get off the streets and be doing something productive, like working. If they can't find work, they aren't trying hard enough to get a job or there's something wrong with their character.

The first bit is what my SIL believes, the last bit is someone in my own family unfortunately.

[Awoke]

Well the hard truth is that a lot of the people taking part in the OWS movement are freeloading welfare recipients.

Who else could go move into a park and live there for months? I couldn't.

I know some of them are people who want to work, but cant find it, etc, but a lot of them are from the socialist self-entitlement crowd. But I support the movement because I can't be there myself, because I am enslaved by the credit/debt system and have electronic fiat bills to pay, or I risk losing my shelter and transporation.

However, none of that has anything to do with excusing the blatant police brutality that was exhibited over the OWS duration.

In cahoots. Paid to take it.

I reviewed a vid on the event. It only showed about 30 seconds prior to the spraying. I thought I watched one that had a few minutes before the protestors were sprayed. From what I remember, the guy walked down the line and talked to them and then broke out the spray. It was almost like he was telling them it was go time.

They don't react like they were hit with pepper spray. They sit there and take it. A couple walk off and are not immediatley accosted. The rest are nicely "in relative terms" picked up to be "collected".

All the cops have paint ball guns. Not saying they don't hurt, but definitely not the same scenes scene in NYC.

Something just hasn't set right with me on the whole thing.

Something just hasn't set right with me on the whole thing.Post the video you speak of. I kinda doubt that cop was in-on getting his name/pic plastered all over the internet.

I'd say it happened because the protestors were blocking the walkway and refused to move. If the cop said anyhing to them, it was in the form of a final warning to get up and quit blocking the path. When they didn't, he sprayed them with pepper spray in order to persuade them to change their minds.
He even held the canister up so they could plainly see it, and what was coming. Had they quit blocking the sidewalk, it wouldn't have happened.

I don't know how you could watch this and come to any other conclusion.
If anything, the protestors volunteed to get sprayed.

Edited to add: the first cop, for the most part at least, at first seems to try to direct his spray only at those directly blocking the pathway. It's the second cop who sprays directly at those sitting in the grass. Then the first one sprays a few on the left side.
At the end of the video, the ones sitting in the grass huddle together and seem to be left alone, while the ones that were actually blocking the path are the ones getting swarmed by the cops and arrested.
ie it was all about them blocking the sidewalk.

Exactly.

So if they volunteered, was there any brutality?

Everything seems too convenient to me.

[Joe King]

Exactly.

So if they volunteered, was there any brutality?

Everything seems too convenient to me.Did you watch the video? That's what all these protestors that are getting arrested are doing.
ie volunteering to get arrested by engaging in civil disobeidence. Like blocking sidewalks/streets, or occupying bridges etc etc.

They weren't "in on it" to any greater degree than engaging in behavior that they knew ahead of time would get them sprayed/arrested.
...and yea, the protestor people were ready with cameras, because they too knew what was coming. But then again, if you or I were standing there watching as dis-interested observors, we too would have known what was coming and likely watched it unfold. Or taking pics had we a camera.

It doesn't take brain scientist to know that when you block a street or path to public traffic for no good reason, the police are going to respond.

[solid]

Exactly.

Bingo! So, the protestors volunteer, the cop sprays them....and they video tape it. Very clever propaganda.

I've often wondered about this incident, because honestly no cop in their right mind would pepper spray anyone who is not resisting forcefully. Ie, a threat to the well being of any one around at the time. You'd have to be the dumbest cop around to spray handcuffed protestors just sitting there peacefully.

By doing that, the cop broke the use of force policies for every dept in the nation. He would have been written up, most likely suspended or even fired.

Paid for by/supported by what org?

I was fairly shocked when I heard about it and read comments about the event. I probably waited a week or so before I watched the event in question.

IMHO, I see cooperation. I could be wrong. It is my gut reaction.

This thing got a lot of play on the media.

If the students hadn't stayed docile, do thing the Chancellor would have resigned?

If feels like this was staged to incite a riot and it backfired.

[osoab]

I would also like to point out that none of those sprayed react in anyway later as being in any sort of pain.

That shit "looked" industrial strength.

Solid, what is the pain factor with that crap and would they sit there in a docile manner after being sprayed?

[Joe King]

Here's the vid I watched today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmJmmnMkuEM


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmJmmnMkuEMIt looks the same as the other video I posted, just longer and from a different angle.
ie the other cops all step back and then the pepper spraying cop steps over the protestors, holds up the canister and first sprays those on the sidewalk and then sprays those in the grass on either side.

Where exactly do you see video of..
I reviewed a vid on the event. It only showed about 30 seconds prior to the spraying. I thought I watched one that had a few minutes before the protestors were sprayed. From what I remember, the guy walked down the line and talked to them and then broke out the spray. It was almost like he was telling them it was go time.

I didn't see anything like that at all. The line of cops in front of them had already done their "show of force" and warning to move and then backed off to allow room for PSC {pepper spraying cop} to come in front in order to do his thing.
ie whether that step was right or wrong, he was escalating to the next step in order to disperse the protestors.

After they were sprayed, the video shows other cops swarming the ones on the sidewalk and cuffing/arresting them.

So where is this video you spoke of that shows PSC talking to them before hand?
BTW, I don't agree with what happened, but all present knew what was coming. The pepper spray was only pulled out after what was likely multiple refusals to quit blocking the sidewalk.
ie they could have gotten up and stood in the grass all day long, but rather chose to be possibly sprayed/beaten/arrested for blocking a......sidewalk?
Or was that the sidewalk leading to JPM? lol

ETA: The reason they seem to just sit there and take it is two-fold. First, they knew it was coming and lowered/covered their faces, thereby minimizing the direct effects and secondly it's testament to their determination to not be moved.

[solid]

Solid, what is the pain factor with that crap and would they sit there in a docile manner after being sprayed?

You know, looking at the video again, this whole thing is staged BS. I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but pepper spray comes out in a stream, like a liquid stream. Not a misty spray, like in the video. The really strong stuff almost comes out in globs, of thick liquid.

Unless, it's a different pepper spray than I've seen.

The pain factor is very intense, if it gets into your eye. We had to stand there, cover one eye with our hand, and they sprayed directly onto the eyeball of our other eye. Basically stand there and take it until they stopped spraying. We then had to drop and do 20 pushups, run an obstacle course, fight a guy, arrest a guy..then we got relief with a water hose. The water didn't help much but temporarily put out the fire.

In my experience, it pissed me off. So running the obstacle course and all, I did well. Others tended to struggle with wanted to run from it.

If that was real pepper spray, that crowd would have reacted, in some way. Unless it was some diluted stuff just meant to scare them.

When do cops act like this?

I only got 2 minutes into the first video. When would a cop ever turn his back on a crowd of protestors?

Whole thing was a training exercise. LOL.

They will milling about, there was no tactics going on.

Anyway, answer this, smart guy....why was he shaking the can of pepper spray like it was a can of spray paint?

During my training, we never were taught to say "OK, bad guy, slow down for second, let me get my pepper spray shaken up and ready to go." OK, pepper spray ready now....feel free to attack.

What pepper spray do you know of that you need to shake up before using?

Joe, I think you just want to find a way to disagree. :)

This has four minutes before leading up to the spraying. I haven't finished yet.

Everyone else is on the grass besides the people sitting on the sidewalk and the people behind them taking pics.

Why are they on the sidewalk? Why would a sidewalk be made such a deal of?

[Awoke]

So now this is a Psyop?

Give me a break.

My humble opinion.

It was my first reaction when first viewing vids of the event.

I could be wrong, but something about it doesn't sit right with me.

[Awoke]

Everything is suspect, no doubt.

However with the elevated levels and occurances of police brutality these days, this situation seems not only "possibly legit" but unfortunately "very likely".

People are inheritly good and don't want altercation, imo. These protestors are strong together, but weak alone. Once the pigs have them wrangled up and sitting on the ground, most people return to meekness, and figure "Oh well, I tried, now I have to comply".

I have no doubts that they would sit there and take it.

The walking donut probably was using one of the milder blends of pepper spray.I have looked at the can he was using (as much as was shown) And it does look to me as the real deal, the dye color is right and all. So I suspect that the pepper consentration in the can was much lower than the "full" strength kind, http://www.priax.com/html/pepper_spray_strength.html

There are no elevated levels, haven't seen any Kent State activities. The police have been beating people as long as they have been around. The fear mongering is elevated and designed to ensure a feeling of rage.

A bunch of white and asian people on a university campus, can't get much more submissive than that. I'm not condoning this in any way, this is just another example of the outrageous abuse of power by poice against poeple that are no threat at all. But "You use your weapons, we use our voice!" won't cut it.

I don't remember the sidewalk sitters singing "Fingerbang". That was the song in the South Park Episode.

What "Shame on You" doesn't work?

"We Are Your Children" didn't seem to have any affect either.

[Awoke]

Non-violent non-compliance will not work.

That's where SilverSheild is wrong.




(That and his denial of organized babylonian talmudism being behind the global conspiracy)

I'll be damned, this circus act is apparently real.

I caught a trail end of a local news story, the chief of the local police stated the dept is investigating this incident, and condemns any abuse of use of force. Which, this would obviously qualify.

It still looks like a joke, unreal, but nonetheless...apparently (per the media) it is. I stand corrected.

I tried to tells you guys that back in post #40, lol but in order to to have a good derail, the thread apparently needed 67.5% more posts than it had. :D



So, any more funny pics of PSC? Here's a couple I don't think were posted already.

Joe, BS is BS, either way you flavor it.

Look at those two pictures..you posted, again. ^^ Look at his belt.

Why is his mags and cuffs, and glove pouch switched sides? Cops don't do that. You keep that shit in muscle memory. The first pic, he's right handed...but wait, next pic, he's left handed...which is it?

Which is why I posted what I did about it.

Oh right, it's a mirror image of the original one. You can tell by looking at his pants; the wrinkles on his right leg are on the left one in the flipped mirror image.

[Awoke]

Yeah they just flip the picture in photoshop depending on which direction they want him facing for the picture.
