This is what's going on

If a picture is worth a thousand words....

Woman being pepper sprayed, for offering a flower

She's not trying to break the line. She is backing up as it goes forward. Then the cop sprays her.

When she's walking away, clearly affected by it, trying to leave; and apparently no longer, "a threat," he hoses her again.

Hm. I should re-phrase. The GOP talking head response is going to be that it was deserved, and an appropriate response.

The worst of them will probably suggest that protesters be executed for treason.
