Sure, that is why people react the way they do when leo's do dumb stuff like pull you over for superficial stuff, abuse their position or become the judge, jury and executioner like the officer in the video. I don't know everything... but I would bet there is no official training that instructs the officer to blanket pepper spray into freeway traffic. ijs It just makes no sense, does not improve control of the situation, nor offers any increased prevention or protection of all involved. All it does is increase the risk for everyone.

I didn't read the fox link, but from what I read elsewhere a bunch of stunters went out goofing off in traffic. People called and complained, the officer stopped the truck that had people filming from the back of the truck, standing up and being unsafe. A bunch of the stunters rode past the officer while he was conducting a traffic stop. Now tell me, how is one officer going to stop a whole bunch of stunters riding past him? This was not just a cop standing on the side of the road pepper spraying random motorcyclists as they rode past. This was an officer sent out to investigate and stop illegal activity. Fogging the stunters with pepper spray is a whole lot safer than starting a high speed chase after them. |

Either way, he was NOT catching them on foot outside the cruiser and any attempt most likely would result in injury to himself, the rider, a road traveler or any combination thereof. "Now tell me, how is one officer going to stop a whole bunch of stunters riding past him?" He can't... simple as that. He did NOT improve the control, safety of the situation or prevent further infractions of law by spraying it either. It was a total waste of time + effort and now has him behind a desk to ensure he handled himself per training guidelines. EDIT: And now... if he did issue a ticket or make an arrest, they can now challenge it in court easier because he most likely didn't follow procedures. :\

I'd say he was endangering anybody he sprayed. Open-face helmet? You're now blind and can't control your bike. Even with a full-face, you might catch some.
Not exactly keeping things under control; he'd actually be sending it careening out of control quickly. |

How many bike crashed as a result of his pepper spraying?
From what I can find 0. The only people that sought treatment were those that got the back spray standing in the back of the truck. No deadly force, a minor irritant. |

I meant relevant to this topic in particular. I don't think it is a culture and I don't think it's overlooked. The fact that it gets reported is, I believe, a rare case of the media doing its job.

Power corrupt; absolute power corrupt, absolutely.
Any corruption of power/authority should be reported, but too often they are overlooked by those who are meant to serve justice, ignored by the media and tolerated by the masses. Only in the days of internet, social media, cell phone cameras that these corruptions are becoming more visible to the masses and reported more frequently. Whether those who are corrupt receive justice is another issue completely. |

I agree absolutely with this because even one of either is too many, but it's not as widespread as some people would like to think.

They are a minority but way more than one, and I would argue the number of folks who tolerate this attitude may not be a minority by much. Therein lies the real problem.
