“Riot police on horses are now macing and pushing back the crowds who tried to storm the building. I fell like I’m back in the military- I’m rather enjoying this. It brings back memories.”

State police report 2 arrests, collapsed tent, use of pepper spray outside Michigan Capitol

Michigan State Police say pepper spray has been used to subdue a protester outside the state Capitol who had his hands on a trooper.

Capt. Harold Love says the female trooper was being pulled into a crowd Tuesday. Love says a male trooper standing nearby gave two short bursts of pepper spray to end the incident. There was no arrest.

I don’t think attacking female police officers helps the cause very much although I’m glad he’s having a time time.
