Reply #55: As an ex-cop, I'm sure you are well-trained about "use of force".

[Just Me]

I am sure you know the rules concerning appropriate use of force.

In my former life, I was an attorney who was confronted with what is called section 1983 actions.

Are you familiar with those?

Let's take a somewhat comparable situation,...the one that involved fans throwing drinks and chairs at basketball players.

Would it be appropriate to spray at, let's say, one hundred fans in order to maintain order over three abusive fans?

I'm just sayin',...evaluate the facts.

How many threw "WHAT" over that ten foot fence? Was the reaction appropriate?

Unfortunately, my guess is that the "REACTION" was inappropriate,...but that is merely a guess.

On edit: try to remove yourself from your subjective need to protect the integrity of all those who are like you,...please.
