Cops and firemen tend to turn minor incidents into major incidents. I guess it's about portraying themselves as heroes, justifying pay raises and creating jobs for themselves.
For those of you who don't know it the active ingredient in these pepper spray things is capsicum, or the stuff that makes chilli peppers hot. The kid sprayed a quarter sized blob of pepper spray on the floor. If you ask me that's about as dangerous as putting a quarter size blob of Cholua Hot Sauce or Tabasco Hot Sauce on the floor. I remember when the Tempe Fire Department shut down the Tempe Library because some kid spilled small blob of mercury this size of a teaspoon in the library. When I was a child I had a bottle of mercury the size of a roll of quarters. Sure it's poison, because as long as you don't eat it, or bath in it, the mercury won't hurt you. Kinda like the "war on drugs", where the cops claim marijuana is dangerous drug which will cause the downfall of Western Civilization as we know it.
6 taken to hospital after curious Avondale student deploys pepper spray Jerod MacDonald-Evoy , The Republic | azcentral.com 3:03 p.m. MST December 16, 2016 A classroom of students and their teacher were treated by firefighters after a curious seventh-grader sprayed a small amount of pepper spray in the classroom, officials said. About 11:30 a.m. Friday, fire crews and police officers were dispatched to Canyon Breeze Elementary School for a pepper spray exposure inside a classroom, according to Sgt.

Nineteen of the 23 students in the classroom were evaluated by fire officials. Six were transported to a hospital for precautionary reasons, according to Ben Avitia, Avondale Fire Department spokesman. Alt said no one was critically injured and no criminal charges were under consideration at the moment.
