If this kid needed to be pepper sprayed he's a pretty bad ass kid. In training I have been pepper sprayed and I can tell you it both sucks and hurts like hell, it was everything I could do just to dunk my head in the bucket. A funny note, if you ever have the pleasure of doing the training, remember one thing. Be first, the pepper spray flaots and you have the second coming when you shower later, it burns all over again and this time you're naked in the shower, water flows down
