There is lots coming out on this. This story presents a balanced view.

Actually that story is not well balanced. It omits a very key fact and creates a very wrong impression. It suggests that Rhodes began pepper-spraying her and throwing her against the wall merely in response to her attempt to flee, without mentioning that he first tried to apprehend her the normal way, and she started fighting him.

Very inexcusable distortion, but very typical of the AP.
