After getting a face full of pepper spray our protester does little but shake his arms. He doesn't appear to be bothered at all by the spray. In closer views at the end of the video there is no hard breathing, running nose or anything. I have a hard time believing someone could be sprayed that badly and just calmly lay there like this.
Lastly, it would seem our victim's name is.....Fred. Fred Quimby.
Dunno about you but I've never met a black man named Fred myself.
Didn't know it was such a common name.

I doubt this was scripted. I do commend said protester for taking that pepper spray like a boss. Especially at that range. He might be acting hard but I guarantee he was feeling the effects. Pepper spray is no joke.

I recognized the name 'Fred Quimby' immediately.
It is found in 'Tom and Jerry' cartoons.
He was an American cartoon producer.

One would think the police would be used to it, right?
There is one officer right in the middle of the screen after they spray the crowd, the wind blows it back in his face.
He seems to have quite a reaction just from a tiny bit of mist.
I doubt anyone could take a full blast of it in the face and just "man up" they're way through it.
Chemical agents make babies of us all.
