Rapper Dave East caught a face full of pepper spray – after he got into an argument with Montreal Police two nights ago, Media take Out has learned.
The rapper got into a shouting match with police, whom the rapper believed were unfairly treating him and his team. The police stood by and listened to Dave’s complaints for a few minutes.
But after a while they decided to end the confrontation, by spraying Dave and his team in the face with pepper spray.
No one was injured, and Dave East was not taken into custody – or charged with any crime.
So what do you think – did the cops go too far. Or were they using restraint …
