Pepper Spray at Newark Protest

Pepper spray and pepper balls turned a Newark protest outside Delaney Hall into chaos—officers deployed the capsaicin-laced crowd control agents as demonstrators supported hunger-striking detainees, even hitting U.S. Senator Andy Kim while he tried to de-escalate. These high-concentration sprays cause immediate burning, dizziness, and breathing issues, usually fading in 30 minutes—but can be deadly for those with asthma. The incident reignites debate over police force during protests and the real human cost of these “non-lethal” tools. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
