Did not see a forum on this. So the basically people are starting to question whether the police were justified in their use of pepper spray and tear gas. I will say there are definitely people who get out of control but the OSU and Columbus PD are very quick to use pepper spray and tear gas. In fact at some of the street parties like Woodfest and Chit show, I've talked to police and they have said at a certain time in the night they usually just tear gas the area since it is the easiest way to disperse the crowd. I'm not saying some of it wasn't justified, but it is nice to see they can't casually gas/spray the crowd without fear of consequences.
