Peper spray is now a food product

[Final-Fan]

"Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant who wrote the department's use of force guidelines, said pepper spray is a "compliance tool" that can be used on subjects who do not resist, and is preferable to simply lifting protesters.

"When you start picking up human bodies, you risk hurting them," Kelly said. "Bodies don't have handles on them."

After reviewing the video, Kelly said he observed at least two cases of "active resistance" from protesters. In one instance, a woman pulls her arm back from an officer. In the second instance, a protester curls into a ball. Each of those actions could have warranted more force, including baton strikes and pressure-point techniques.

"What I'm looking at is fairly standard police procedure," Kelly said.

1.  According to Charles Kelly, it doesn't hurt to have chemicals sprayed into your eyes and face that are designed to incapacitate you. 

2.  If you see you're going to get chemicals sprayed in your face and curl into a ball, that means Baltimore police get to hit you with sticks and hit your pressure points [edit: for massive damage].
