Now, Jesse Hagopian is suing the city for $500,000

The Seattle high school teacher and social justice activist filed the $500,000 suit that alleges the officer in a viral video taken of the assault, had unlawfully discharged pepper-spray in his face.

Yep! I knew it was for the $$$. It always is...

I don't know about $500,000 but certainly a random pedestrian who gets hit with pepper spray should be compensated? If you (assuming you aren't a cop) pepper sprayed someone randomly, you'd definitely be paying them damages.
