Best argument for the use of pepper spray against passive people:

A commenter to a Sacramento Bee story about the U.C. Davis event writes:

You have to remember the cops are armed and risk someone jumping on their back, being overpowered by a mob and someone getting their gun; now some one is going to get shot. The same folks who are crying foul about excessive force would be much more outraged if one of the scenarios I mentioned played out.

You see, because the police were armed, they had to use excessive force against unarmed people. Makes total sense.
