No pepper spray on the market is as hot as habaneros for starters. I have inhaled pepper spray before and it doesn’t stop your breathing. Neither does a cloth covering your face. The guy was neurotic. Like the nincompoops on this thread.

Some pepper sprays are rated at 2 million SHU which is hotter than any pepper on the market. The inmate was already tied to a chair any further force was not justified.

Bullshit. The heat of compounds is measured on the Scoville Scale in Scoville heat units (SHU). Habanero peppers measure between 100,000 and 400,000 SHU. Law Enforcement grade pepper spray is rated at between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 SCU, 5 times hotter than the hotest habaneros.
