LOL, seriously...Just thought I would add to the growing number of pepper spray, taser, and death by cop threads.
Now I am a human before animal type person the majority of the time, but my God you can't pick the thing up and take it somewhere? I have raised a couple of baby squirrels who fell out of trees and released them and see no reason he couldn't pick the damn thing up even if it was 'chasing' people and throw it in a pillow cushion or bag of some sort...
90+ year old seniors, 8 year old kids, and baby squirrels...what next? Heh. I am sure there will be someone in a wheelchair soon if it already hasn't been done several times already.
One of the kids took a video of it and its posted at the link as well...Squirrel looks real ominous heh.

MESQUITE, Texas - A YouTube video of a police officer using pepper spray on a baby squirrel has sparked outrage in the city of Mesquite, Tx.
A student recorded the incident. In the video, the officer is seen spraying the animal after it began chasing students around at Kimbrough Middle School.
Students are heard begging the cop, reffered to as Officer Davis on the video, to stop with cries of "No!" and "Don't spray him!"
Mesquite Police Department has defended the officer's actions.
Sgt. Wes Talley said the officer stood between a group of students and the animal because he thought it may have been rabid.
Talley said after several unsuccessful attempts to scare the squirrel away, the officer used his pepper spray on it to protect the welfare of the students.
One parent questioned why the students weren't simply moved away from the squirrel.
Two students told Fox 4 in Dallas that a school official had kicked the squirrel before the officer arrived. The district denied that ever happened.
Animal control officers took the squirrel back to the shelter after the incident. It was cared for and released back into the wild, Talley said.
