#shawshooting Cops wielding cans of pepper spray order protesters off the street. Cops wrestle man to ground.

One officer taken away, looked hurt. Walking, but holding out arm and shuffling and squinting. Male city officer.

Apparently STL PD is now pepper spraying media.

Does he think he's special?

So a lady is having a seizure in the street and they wont let LE in to help her er. Only EMT when they arrive. Did I hear that right?

 

[TheDuchess]

Oh dear...could you NOT do that in your mike dude??? You are grossing me out...and stop hamming for the camera...

 

[SpriteGal]

You play in the kitchen you are going to get burned, or in other words if you go to a heated protest there is a good chance you might be pepper sprayed or gassed . And no press pass will prevent that.

 

[reedus23]

Someone needs to tell these livestreamers they are NOT press. Once you start encouraging and in that gal's case, actually chanting, you are no longer simply reporting.

 

[TheDuchess]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!! I am just a terrible person.....I am so happy those two got maced!!!! I know.....I am awful.....hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

 

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

Did ya'll see what precipitated the mace? They were getting up in a female LEO's face, threatening her, forcing that LEO and another female LEO back to the LE vehicle.

This guy with the camera (certainly can't call him a reporter) was ordering the police to get back away from some woman they claim was assaulted by the police and is having a seizure.

And of course he was pepper sprayed for "just speaking." This is the guy that nothiefsallowed says started all the big stuff last night.

They could all be at home tonight, watching online like us smartee WSers. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

If the 'media' is marching WITH the protestors, and chanting 'Fock Da POH-Leese' , then YES, they are going to get sprayed.
