Shoppers Pepper-Sprayed For Fighting Over Nikes

Another day, another pepper-spraying: early this morning, Seattle police sprayed shoppers at a local mall who were fighting for the chance to purchase Nike’s reissued Air Jordans. Police officer Mike Murphy tells CBS Sports, “Around 3 [a.m.] there started to be some fighting and pushing among the customers. Around 4, it started to get pretty unruly and officers sprayed pepper spray on a few people who were fighting, and that seemed to do the trick to break them up.” One man was arrested for assaulting an officer — says Murphy, “He did not get his shoes — he went to jail.”
