Apparently the police had set up a line of cops to keep people back from the street. This guy was approaching the police line and she was yelling “Get Back.” He was obliviously walking into the street, not paying attention since he was talking on his cell phone.
No matter who one is it is not wise behavior to walk into any street, especially one with a line of police, while talking on a phone or otherwise not paying attention.
One has to wonder what he can contribute as a teacher when his erratic walking is worse than one would expect from a five year old. Every year we have a lot of jaywalkers killed in Seattle as they try to stroll across in front of crs.
Did you forget a sarcasm tag?
Are you saying the guy on the phone, and the nice old lady in the blue scarf in the background of the angry she-elf’s spray gun, deserved to be sprayed here?
Last I checked, the rule was ‘minimum force necessary to compel compliance’.
There is a cop literally directly in front and to the left of the history teacher that wasn’t worried about old lady or history teacher.
Is it your position that walking around a barricade toward the sidewalk while talking on the phone ON A STREET CLOSED TO THROUGH TRAFFIC is cause to be sprayed with bear repellant?
. . . Or were you kidding?
Look at the photo - the guy is on the sidewalk.
