Pepperspray

From 911Encyclopedia:

During the first protests against President Bush in 2002, witnesses reported on pepperspray against peaceful demonstrants. One member of Du, AngryWhiteDemocrat, even reported on spray into a baby's face. On February 15th, 2003, indymedia.org filmed more violations and sent their footage to FOX TV. Newsday later reported, that "police officers ...squirted pepper spray into the eyes of penned-in protesters and backed kicking horses into crowds of people, according to video footage aired Tuesday by the rally's organizers (-> United for Peace). "That makes you feel good, doesn't it?" one officer yelled during the pepper-spraying, as demonstrators who seemed to be trapped between crowds of people on one side and metal barricades on the other screamed, "I can't breathe!" and "My eyes!"
