Pepper spray is designed to go right to the face. Apparently doesn’t work too well when it’s just going to float around you. Especially if you’re used to spicy food.
I knew eating all those wings would give me superpowers.
It depends on your sensitivity. One of my coworkers had the “genius” idea to test her pepper spray indoors and reactions from coworkers and customers ranged from “this is somewhat unpleasant” to “I can’t breathe, I have to step outside.” Some older customers who came in up to an hour later were still coughing.
I can’t find it now, but that particular protestor was interviewed a few minutes later. Apparently the costumes not only provide an effective cushion to stop pepperball ammo without it breaking, but the standard issue CE spray that LEOs are deploying is a chemical gel spray. They sprayed his belt and made the suit smell funny, but did no damage other than clogging the fan that inflates the suit.
Edit; goodnight. I’m off to bed. I’m certain that other lemmings will find the interview that I saw.
They haven’t shot them with real guns yet, but they are happy to use less lethal weapons. Here’s one officer pepper spraying the fan intake.

IIRC, that guy said he’s had spicier meals.

Like, assault?
So make sure to wear gas masks underneath and possibly body armor, gotcha
Careful, they consider defending yourself an aggressive act.
