Exactly pugsley. The same HC righties expressing indignation for the incident in Vic were making full on excuses for the Police when the old chap was bowled over bleeding from his head crashing to the ground and they just walked past him. I dont like seeing anyone being unduly injured but pepper spray is the least oppressive way to try and stop a riot. I would rather cop pepper spray than be hit over the head with a baton or be tasered. Mind you being the law abiding person that I am I should hopefully never encounter any of those options.
