What Pepper Spray Does to Your Body

"When Lieutenant John Pike casually hosed down a line of seated protesters with pepper spray, a lot of weird stuff immediately followed. No, we're not talking about the evolution of the meme. Or even the nationwide backlash."
We're talking about what happened to the protesters' bodies immediately after they got hit. Pepper spray takes your nervous system out back and beats the holy hell out of it.

For the record, I don't know any department that doesn't require officers to be sprayed w/ that shit before they're allowed to carry it. And I've watched a 13 or 14 minute video on the incident and...ehhhh, I'm not getting into it, LOL

I've never been pepper spayed but I ate a scotch bonnet chilli whole which has a similar but milder effect. All my muscles tensed up, I went into spasms and had trouble breathing for quarter of an hour. I used the other chillis in chilli con carne and even that was brutal, the moment you cut them open you cant stop snreezing and your eyes water like fuck, the aroma fills the whole room. About a year ago I went round someones house 2 days after the police had pepper sprayed her (not abuse, they needed too). She'd had all the windows open in the middle of winter and the effect still struck your eyes and throat.

Mental note to self: Don't get pepper sprayed.
