Thanks for the reminder (though it's an ugly picture, not your fault). I had to search on that one. It's from the Occupy protests in 2011. And yes, the radical right had their propaganda machine in full motion on that one too.
from NPR back in the day:
Spokesmen for the police said the officers had been surrounded by other protesters and felt threatened. Critics say the officers' reaction was out of proportion. Two officers, as well as Chief Annette Spicuzza, have been put on administrative leave. A student-faculty-staff task force is investigating.
Does that officer look like he felt threatened? It looks more like spraying a garden to kill bugs.
