This past week a cell phone video appeared on Youtube of a police officer pepper spraying a baby squirrel and has caused quite an outrage. The video was shot at Kimbrough Middle School in Mesquite Texas. During the video students can be heard pleading with the officer to please stop spraying him. Shortly after the squirrel can be seen squirming on the ground. Of course the police officer's actions were "justified" by his department. Accoring to Sargent Wes Taley the officer was between a crowd of students including the animal because he thought it might have been rabid. After he failed to get rid of the squirrel he pulled out his pepper spray to protect the students. Lucky for the animal, it was cared for by a local shelter and released which was what should have been done in the first place. You get on a phone and say come get this squirrel I think it may be dangerous. You don't pepper spray the poor thing. I am more and more disgusted by people everyday because of crap like this. Your not going to tell me that is it protocol to pepper spray a baby squirrel or any animal for that matter. Police officers and others who work for the justice system think they have they have the upper hand and can do whatever they want. They can't!
