Pepper-Spray Used at UC Davis Becomes 'Hit' on Amazon
By Shailesh Shrivastava

Since a campus policeman pepper-sprayed Occupy protesters at the University of California, Davis, the campus has been witnessing protests almost every day.

**SNIP**

The pepper spray Lt. John Pike used has become famous since the brand name and product id have now been registered in people's mind.

Amazon users have posted many creative pictures under the product "Defense Technology 56895 MK-9 Stream, 1.3% Red Band/1.3% Blue Band Pepper Spray." The sarcastic comments as the product review also show that people are in no mood to pardon the officers involved in the incident.

Even in Syria they are not this brutal ~ they SHOOT the miscreants and get it over up front.

Well, it sprays good but there is not much reaction or scattering of vermin...not sure I would expect it to stop someone assailing me.....

This was fun, thanks!!! I wrote the following review,

“I found this product to be one of the best cleaning agents on the market. Our local community park was filthy and smelly, but with just a small application of this wonderful product we were able to clean up the mess! I highly recommend this product for any sensible person to use to remove filth and repugnant odors from our public places. The only problem I see is that few even noticed the mess so can not really see the benefits of this great product. Seems the population is too busy with their Tea Party’s to pay attention to the less than 1% of public places being messy. Oh well, drinking the Tea is definitely more palatable than the communicable disease threat. And, like I said, no one really notices the threat anyway. “

Looks like ACORN may have paid some protestors to buy this expensive product with taxpayer money Obama has confiscated and had them do some reviews. That product is not cheap.

Wonder what the after effects of this spraying were? The squatters seemingly are not overly affected by this spray. Contrast that to the Youtube videos of 2 guys who volunteer to get hosed with FOX LABS spray.

FOX is some nasty stuff. I sprayed some on my hands. Burned for 1/2 hour.

Only 5 left in stock at Amazon. Holy smokes. Imagine if Wal-Mart online had only 5 left in stock of anything that had not been discontinued? Amazon is about that big.

I wonder what would happen if it was patchouli scented? It would blow their little minds.

If traffic violations weren’t about collecting money, cops could just spray the speeder or stop sign runner—perhaps even that evil HOV violator. Otherwise, why bother wasting time writing up tickets, courts and due process? Just be judge, jury, and executioner right there on the side of the road!
