Don't Want to Get Pepper Sprayed?

The don't go near the fight.
From the Las Vegas Sun: A number of Chaparral High School students were pepper-sprayed after a fight broke out around lunchtime Friday at the school.
Parent Aaron Aguirre said he received distraught calls shortly after 12:30 p.m. from his son and daughter attending the central Las Vegas Valley school.
Chaparral junior Selena Aguirre, 17, told her father that school police officers used pepper spray to disperse a crowd of about 100 students who witnessed a fight in the school quad. Officers sprayed randomly in the air, affecting bystanders as well as the fighting students, Selena said.
In the melee, Selena — who said she was not involved in the fight — was hit in the face with pepper-spray, Aaron Aguirre said.
"She was upset and crying because she couldn't breathe," Aaron Aguirre said, adding that Selena's contact lenses were ruined as a result. "I'm (mad). She felt violated — she was sprayed for no reason."
Aaron Aguirre said he went straight to the school after the calls because he was concerned about the use of pepper spray on those involved in the fight and bystanders, too.
After speaking with a school police officer investigating the fight, Aaron Aguirre was not satisfied with their reasons for using pepper spray, he said.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2012/oct/05/students-parent-enraged-school-polices-excessive-u/
I've seen and broken up many a high school fight.  When a fight starts, and girl fights are the worst, hundreds want to get close to the action.  Then the friends of the fighters want to get involved and it's very dangerous situation for the people who break up the fight.  If the people don't want to disperse, then the only other alternative is pepper spray to break up the fighters.
So, if you don't want to be peppered sprayed, don't go close to the fight or be involved in a fight.
