    You haven’t misunderstood. Purposefully spitting is usually when they’re used. Doubling up on them when there’s a bunch of blood and one is soaked is not normal use and there’s no defense for police or ems doing that. That was just plain stupid and their should be major repercussions for it. That isn’t their normal use.

      also, pepper spray, don’t forget that. i’d wager the artificial saliva they used in the safety studies didn’t have the same viscosity as pepper-spray-mucus-and-tears.
