I tell ya, New York’s finest really are some of the nation’s Toppest of Top Men. This one is a real doozy.

A top NYPD officer was seemingly caught on camera accidentally pepper-spraying himself while trying to break up an anti-Israel demonstration on the Manhattan Bridge Saturday.
As a side note, I want to point out that you can protest nearly everything in NY. BLM can burn down blocks and buildings. Anti Trump protestors can wreak all kinds of havoc. Hell even certain demographics can literally push you in front of the subway and not even post bail. But the one thing you CAN NOT DO is protest Israel. Hoooo Boy! Nope, not Our Greatest Ally™ We tolerate no criticism of our lords and masters here. That will actually bring the cops out. Apparently even the top brass will get out on the street to shut that shit down!
Video shared on social media shows NYPD Assistant Chief James McCarthy getting a faceful of the chemical irritant as he tried to deploy it on protesters who brought traffic to a standstill as they marched across the bridge Saturday evening. Nice job chief.
Cops in riot gear can be seen in the chaotic footage trying to wrangle protesters who are falling over each other as they back away chanting, “Rafah!”
The group of protesters, some carrying signs reading “Palestine will be free,” appear to have their arms linked together while backing away from police.
Toward the end of the clip, which had been viewed over 230,000 times Sunday morning, McCarthy can be seen alongside three protesters pulling pepper spray out of his pocket and accidentally spraying himself.
Photographs show McCarthy wearing a white uniform while other officers dump a bottle of water over his shocked face.
Several other officers can be seen tending to his injuries following the accident.
Hilarious

These pro-Hamas protests are funny as hell to watch. They’re like the BLM protests: a whole bunch of college-indoctrinated, calorie-dense, white girls LARPing that they’re tough beans.
The fastest way to cure this once and for all would be to use an old-fashioned nightstick and give them some lumps on their heads.

Why are they fighting about it in my country? Can’t we deport them all to Gaza?

maybe they are mad about it here because our country takes our tax dollars and supplies all the weapons and money for our over lords in Israel

There are the four cardinal rules of safe firearm handling. Those same rules apply to pepper spray, Tasers, less lethals and just about any weapon that expels something.
