This video of a Paterson, N.J. officer using pepper spray on an already detained black man might be a citizen-made, blurry video, but it doesn’t make it any less horrifying to watch.

The police officer, after forcefully holding down the black man and spraying him in the face with Mace then proceeds to curse at the onlookers and threatens jail time for them, too.

See the video below and post your comments – was this police brutality or all just a misunderstanding?
