Some others are acting like we supported the pepper spraying though, and that's dishonest.
The unfairness of it all.
Not so much supporting it as trying to find a way to excuse it. In other words, no one is claiming you’re saying, ‘The cops pepper sprayed a nine year old girl...HOORAY!’ It’s more that you’re saying, ‘It’s awful what happened to that girl, but...’
There is no ‘but’. The cops always had to option to not pepper spray her. They went another way.
