A Seattle history teacher who was pepper sprayed during a peaceful Martin Luther King Day Jr. rally is suing the cops who allegedly attacked him.
Newly released video showed a Seattle police officer pepper spraying Jesse Hagopian as he walked home from the Jan. 19 rally, his lawyer said.
Hagopian, who teaches history at Seattle's Garfield High School, spoke at the event and was on the phone with his mom when the spray hit his eyes. He was on his way to his 2-year-old son's birthday party, he said.

here. At around the 30 sec mark, around the light pole next to the newspaper stands you can see the female officer lay the spray.
Presumably, you pay taxes there in Seattle.
Some of your hard earned money will be going into Jess Hagopian’s pocket.
That make you feel warm and fuzzy too?
I just saw that one the other day. Unbelievable!
Looks like Elizabeth Warren.
He’s lucky she didn’t scalp him.
LOL!
Blocking off the street - but then their bikes are also up on the sidewalk blocking half of it off. So not much room for the people walking. There was no place for the peds to “get back” too.
Poor tactics by the cops, plus one idiot and scared woman.
Look at the photo - the guy is on the sidewalk.
Thats what happens when you put a badge on a 5 foot 100lb affirmative action hire.
Thanks for posting the link. I watched it a couple times and still couldn’t see what she was reacting to. It just looks like she wanted to use her spray to see if it would work. Weird.
