how have i taken two sides? i said i did not think they should have been sprayed like that, but there should be some sort of consequence for them breaking the law, and they should expect it.
then gave what should have been done

Let's look back, and before you say anything, yes, I'm paraphrasing.

You said you completely agree the way they handled it was wrong.
Then you said, for all intents and purposes, that they should have expected it, and laughed that no one (yourself included) could come up with an alternative.
You then described what you would have preferred done, which is basically how the cops handled it in the first place.

So which is it, shrew, do you think it was wrong or is it what you would have done?

Two sides.

wickabee, wrong again, i aksed the people who were complaining to give an alternative, and no one could, so don't complain, a backstreet driver, is not a good driver.

i had an answer, but i asked for others to give one, as usual, most are talking out the side of their mouths and have no real input, besides it wrong.

so what should they have done?
just curious, and please don't say "not spray the", I agree with that, but i want to know the correct action they should have taken and why it is correct.

So, they shouldn't have been sprayed. Great.

doesn't surprise me
and if you are going to protest, do you not know what the outcome may be, and I would bet all these kids knew that and were willing to pay the price, until it actually happened.

So it shouldn't have happened, but they should have seen it coming...okay

but as for an answer,
i would not want to injure them, and i would need to remove them.
so one at a time i would give them the option to obey, if they did not, i would tell them they are under arrest and ask them to comply, if they did not, i would use pain bearing methods to make them comply to being cuffed and then carry them off. and go down the line like this.

Which is basically what happened. So let's recap your stance on this thread:
You think it was wrong to pepperspray the kids, but they should have seen it coming because if you were the cop you would have done the same thing.
But it's wrong.
But it's the correct course of action.
But it shouldn't have happened.
But it's the way things should be done.

...
you see where I'm having trouble?

If I may speculate, I'd say you don't actually think it was wrong. Everything you have said in this thread goes against that first claim. What I do like is the only actual alternative you (or anyone else, admittedly) came up with.

so should they have chained them to horses and dragged them off campus?

Now, I know you're not a liberal guy, but I never thought you wanted college students drawn and quartered.

wickabee, so now you are not reading my posts.

my answer was not to pepper spray at all.

and if you are warned you will be pepper sprayed by the police and you are, you should have not expected it?

where did i say quartered?
i said dragged off campus

You said escalate to pain only when you deem necessary. I assume that officer deemed it necessary in his mind. So you said it was wrong of him, but you would use pain if it got to that point. Pepperspray is pain. I don't see what you would have done differently after, yes, reading your posts.

You need to remember to bring a sense of humour with you.
