What the hell is going on here? This video has gone viral everywhere. Can anyone shed any light to what happened or why this much excessive force is being used on 1 man in the presence of multiple officers?
As you can see pepper spray is being sprayed everywhere. Did the officer lose control of the situation as he ends up spraying other officers with the spray too.
What are your thoughts?
