"A police officer accused of intentionally pepper
spraying a child is to be punished - if he or she were
to go searching through a crowd passing by 
people one by one until they found the child and
without provocation "maced" the child." 

no police officer pepper sprayed a child.  no police
officer was accused of pepper spraying a child.  one
poster on another list did accuse the police of
pointing the pepper spray at a child, and this rumor
was maliciously reported on this list as fact, and now
it is being embellished and repeated again.

On a post to this list a reporter for the pulse made a
similar claim about police pepper spraying a child. 
I'm paraphrasing when she said we should be mad about
the "idea" of the police pepper spraying a
child.

This is rumor mongering and it is a too bad because it
takes away from the credibility of those who are
working to get better oversight of police actions in
minneapolis.
