A transit police officer has pepper-sprayed a crowd in Cleveland protesting the arrest of a 14-year-old at a Black Lives Matter conference inspired by police brutality.
The incident occurred near Cleveland State University in the city’s downtown where the first Black Lives Matter conference was taking place. More than 1,200 participants spent the weekend organizing and discussing a range of social justice issues.
According to the Greater Cleveland regional transit authority, its officers were taking an intoxicated teenage bus rider to a police station just as the conference was ending about 5pm. A large crowd blocked the squad car and tried to get the youngster out. One of the officers turned and began pepper-spraying the crowd.

Red Pepper. It was at the Cleveland Indians game.
I dunno. What color is cayenne? That’s the source of most pepper spray.

Sounds more like a new leftist “commandment”:
Thou shalt not enforce YT’s law on a person of color.
Red.
So basically they want the right to be able to pull people from squad cars, disrespect and ignore lawful orders, anytime, any where they please, and if the cops take action it’s racism?
There ‘ya go.
No charge.

Stopped right there - the guardian doesn’t even make a good birdcage liner.
I love that smell.
Will be interesting to see how Kasich handles this. He’d better get some handles on Cleveland before Convention.
“Making the police let him go” is the legal definition of the crime known as lynching. So I guess their new slogan is “Black Lynchings Matter”.
“Youngster”...yeah a drunk, aggressive 15 year old is now just a sweet “youngster,” a word that used to refer to children.
They’re supposed to write a “black unarmed crowd.”
So the headline identifies the race of the officer but not the race(s) of those in the mob?
The city will burn.
Yet another synonym for "black, urban, criminal-class male thug".
That leftist rag wants the readers to think that the “White” cop pepper sprayed a “Black” crowd for no reason. The truth is that the rag is lying and is trying to stir up racial hatred and White Guilt.
Let's just ignore the lowest common denominator.
A fresh ripe cayenne chili is bright, fire-engine red.
Oleoresin capsicum, near as I can tell, is colorless.
Won't be the first time ...
