There is a reason for every thing!!, act a fool and you get special attention. Color has nothing to do with it.
Plenty of white folks get the same treatment for being stupid. Obey commands and anyone will be just fine.

Poor guy looks like he needs to sprayed with holy water and not mace.

Hold up, wait a minute. You are Latino (Cubano) JDGator?!?!?!?. We went hunting together. Oh heck no. I can't believe it. I'm now ruined for life.

Lest someone plow into me thinking I'm serious that was sarcasm. Never can tell with this bunch.

Bottomline..right or wrong is that stereotypes are based on reality..while YOU may not be a trouble maker or thieve or whatever, it doesn't change the fact that the stereotype exists solely because it has been proven to be the case so many times. Blacks...small percentage of population but account for the majority of crime..yes I am going to look at all of them suspiciously at first...that's survival instinct..same with muslims.
Just like the white male is stereotyped as being a racist hateful rich dude. some are but not all, but we all get blasted by that stereotype at first. right or wrong, that is what it is.

I agree with Three11...being disrespectful and being illegal are two totally different things.

That gentleman looked to be on something strong. The snippet of video you get of him walking towards them is probably not the beginning of the encounter. Based on the way he took that pepper spray he was numb to anything. I don't think you treat anybody any differently because of their race but he was a threat and they stopped the threat with non lethal force. They didn't beat him senseless they stoped the threat, took him to the ground cuffed him and moved him out of further harms way.
Honestly if I had been in my vehicle, home ect and was approached by that same man in that same manner I would have taken that as a threat to my safety or my families safety. That guy was whacked out and looking to hurt someone. That's not someone you want to provoke or let get a hand on you.

Which is worse, in regard to non-lethal methods used to stop me from no longer being a threat :

1) Being shot in one of my extremities from a Glock 40

OR

2) Having my face marinated with a fire extenguisher's-worth of grizzly-grade pepper spray?

I'm gonna go with option 1, Bob.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yes, there are some instances where certain races are profiled against...this is not one of them. He got exactly what he was asking for.
