I carry my little recorder just for such a situation, but I always thought I would get some warning! A smash, takedown and cuff is extraordinary, but not unexpected given the increasing LE hostility toward OC.
He was just trying to make a point to all of us, that we are not living in the 1800's and we damn well better stop infringing on the modern "right" that only police officers should be allowed to OC and cut out that damn Constitution talk or they will give out a few broken wrists.
