Kansas City police used pepper spray on a crowd of protesters outside of a Donald Trump rally on Saturday, after protesters had allegedly thrown objects and moved onto the streets against police orders.
The police said that the protesters had surrounded the police and were pushing out onto the streets, and that one officer had his horse attacked by a protester, the Kansas City Star reports.
They showed great restraint. You get to the point where you take control or you let the mob take control.
