The June 4 death of burglary suspect Aaron Williams in San Francisco, subdued with pepper spray, prompts protests and a federal investigation push. Police officials acknowledge possible improper use while experts say pinpointing pepper spray as a death factor is hard due to co occurring restraint methods.
Pepper spray is an oily resin from dried spices like chili or cayenne mixed with oils and alcohol. It is deployed from a canister in short bursts to irritate mucous membranes and eyes, potentially causing coughing and gasping for breath with effects varying by person.
A boat sank off eastern Indonesia killing six with seven missing as 55 aboard capsized in heavy seas. Bodies of four women a man and a boy were found the previous day off Amurang 1250 miles northeast of Jakarta.
The piece notes 27 California deaths from police pepper spray and 23 nationwide deaths 1990 to 1993, with 150 plus emergency room incidents since July 1 1994. Lawsuits in three states seek to curb mandatory training exposure amid health concerns while manufacturers and officials push for federal regulation.
