Being so old, I actually remember seeing this protest on TV when I was in my last year of university. This nice little video shows so-called 'police brutality' hasn't changed much in 13 years.

Pay close attention around 1:21. Canada's own Sergeant Pepper shows you how to clear out a crowd and piss off the media at the same time.

Pepper spray isn't that bad. People need to stop being pussies.

The down side of the pepper spray incident was that a camera crew from the CBC got pepper sprayed. Once you directly hit the media like that, you can expect some pretty negative commentary. And indeed, the RCMP had a black eye for a few years after that incident insofar as the CBC was concerned. Why is that relevant? Because in a democracy, you kinda sorta want to stay on the good side of the media since they do strongly influence public opinion.
