3. I think not
If it were up to the corporate media, the original image wouldn't have lasted beyond one news cycle. This way, the image of a callous authority figure casually spraying wicked chemicals will continue to permeate our consciousness. Diminished? No. Reinforced? Yes.

4. IMO, This is the Best Way This Event Can Possibly be Publicized
No one has to go on a political rant which half the audience will turn off -- instead everyone laughs while it reinforces the image of cops using excessive force. This is how ideas take over public consciousness.

6. It makes Pike into a joke
And the one thing that a strutting porcine f**k like Pike hates is to be ridiculed. A guy like this won't digest humiliation well. I would worry about his family, as many cops are also domestic abusers, and he is going to be a bit touchy these days.

Look up the officer bubbles case in Toronto that was a part of the police-state intro to Canada at the G20 summit. He actually sued people for making fun of him. Wahhhhhhh. Just made it worse of course.

I wonder if he can even work on the street now he's such a joke.

Public humiliation is a powerful tool.

As a side note, where are all the police apologists these days? Guess they are taking a break while things cool down. "Hey, its a really hard job", "he's just following orders", etc. Fucking whining babies.

Quit if you don't like it or suck it the f**k up. And expect a lot more danger to be part of your job very soon if this kind of abuse continues.

The thing is these guys are findable, they live somewhere and they have families. Why aren't they more worried about retribution of any kind? At night in a quiet spot. There is no way they can protect themselves from a determined take-down.

I can't imagine that it won't eventually start happening in a nation with hundreds of millions of firearms in citizen hands.

I'm a non-violent person but even my blood boils when I watch the videos of these thugs doing their thing.
