Police fired pepper spray to disperse protesters outside a rally by U.S. President Donald Trump in Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday after being pelted with rocks and bottles, police said.

Police have not given an estimate of the number of protesters, but Arizona media said there were several thousand. Police did not say whether the pepper spray was used on pro- or anti-Trump protesters, or both.

"People in the crowd have begun throwing rocks and bottles at police," Phoenix Police Department spokesman Sergeant Jonathan Howard said.

"Police have responded with pepper balls and OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray in an attempt to disperse the crowd and stop the assaults," he said.

I have probably seen that 100 times & cannot get enough of it. I still laugh every time I see it.

I'm waiting for the nausea gas to start being used (as it is in some other countries). Paid protesters barfing on each other would really be some video!

Brought his gas mask but forgot his cup.

Hope he vomited in his gas mask. ;)

He now understands the true meaning of why the round is called a “Pepper Ball”!

I don't know why I just thought of that. LOL.

How stupid is that comment? It was all antifa all night on TV. More fake news, there must have been some white supremacists there...

Never bring a gas mask to a rubber bullet fight.

In all the clips I have seen, there are more people with cameras and cell phones than there are actual protestors.

I nominate that idiot for the 2017 "Don't Taze Me, Bro!" Award. Of course, it's totally appropriate that the other mutant who dragged him off the street was wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey. LOL.

Turns out he shoulda held his gas mask over his private parts, who knew.
But we would have been deprived of the entertainment value.

Which crowd would that be? It’s always some variation of “violence at a Trump rally” when the video evidence clearly shows the left committing violence. Lies by omission.
