I have no idea what the point of walking up to protestors and dabbing their eyes with pepper spray was. Sounds like the cops just had some pepper spray and didn't know what else to do with it.

I think they each deserved a dollar in compensation. In fact, I would have given them five dollars each, so they could each get a sandwich for their troubles.

Hey, I've been around some of these enviro-whackos, and the smell from them made my eyes irritated and red and watery. Maybe I can win a free lunch, too.

Attorneys said the verdict would prevent the use of pepper spray on nonviolent protesters.

Not too many years ago LAPD used a technique of intentionally BREAKING ARMS of anti-abortion protesters peacfully blocking the doors to an abortion "clinic". It pretty much ended the non-violent protests in the L.A. area.

Wonder if LAPD will do that again -- and if not . . .
