13. An investigation, eh? Didn't the NYPD spokesman claim the spraying was
"appropriate"??

Interesting results in the poll on the linked page:

Do you believe the police officer crossed the line?

Yes. The pepper spray clearly was not necessary. 70%
No. The NYPD was just keeping order. 22%
Not sure - I wasn't there. 8%

A day or so a similar poll was about 50/50. Guess multiple incidents by trigger-happy Bologna changed some minds.
