Kamran Loghman, the man who invented modern pepper spray and developed police procedures for its use, is regretting his work. This really sucks, because the guy was trying to do a good thing with it.
It is becoming more and more fashionable right now, this day and age, to use chemical on people who have an opinion. And that to me is a complete lack of leadership both in the police department and other people who cannot really deal with the root of the problem and they want to spray people to quiet them down. And it’s really not supposed to be that. It’s not a thing that solves any problem nor is it something that quiets people down.
Kamran thought his invention would save lives by giving law enforcement another method of dealing with aggressive people. It offered an alternative to the use of night sticks or deadly force. Unfortunately, people still got shot like they always did and the ones who wouldn’t have been shot or physically harmed are now getting pepper sprayed instead.
