    1. Pepper-spray is a form of tear gas, but I think I pictured a cop twirling around and pepper-spraying a crowd. On reflection after breakfast, it’s possible it was well-aimed at a particular 7th-grader.
    2. I’d have to see the video to have a strong opinion.

      Pepper-spray is a form of tear gas, but I think I pictured a cop twirling around and pepper-spraying a crowd. On reflection after breakfast, it’s possible it was well-aimed at a particular 7th-grader.

      Or a particular family member of the 7th grader, who was wielding a knife. I’m not saying the letter the school sent is 100% guaranteed to be a 100% accurate – just that it’s a dangerous practice (on either “side”) to automatically assume things happened in the way that best agrees with your biases about who were the good guys and who were the bad guys.
