So they had to step over the kids, to get to their faces, so they could pepper spray them.
There was no threat. There was only ego-bruising on the part of the two idiots who sprayed the kids.
Kudos to those young people, for being the acme of peaceful protesting in the face of police abuse. MLK would be proud.
