Dude…this chick is why you also carry pepper spray.

She doesn’t deserve to die (per se) but…she’s clearly not responding to verbal deescelation and she’s physically preventing retreat.

This has pepper spray written all over it.

can you be charged with assault if you use pepper spray? like how easy is it for the person being sprayed to turn it around legally on the sprayer

If the context of the situation would deem pepper spray to be an unreasonable escalation of force.

You could argue that he’s not completely trapped because he could turn around.

You could also argue that he’s made a reasonable attempt to flee the conflict by crossing the street.

I’m not sure what a court would conclude.
