"Mr. Spray and Run" on the loose at Occupy Wall Street

Remember the OWS women corraled and pepper sprayed at close range by NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna?  Who was lampooned thus by John Stewart?  Well, two of the demonstrators are sueing "the city, Bologna, the police department, and other unidentified officers," stating (among other things, I guess) that the City failed to train police officers properly." 

According to Reuters,

Bologna was docked 10 vacation days for "using pepper spray outside of department guidelines," police said in October.

The Manhattan district attorney's office opened an investigation into his conduct but has not released any results. A spokeswoman for the office declined to comment on Monday.

Aymen Aboushi, the lawyer for the two women, said he waited several months for the investigation to conclude before filing the suit.

"We've given them more than enough time to follow up on this," he said.

A spokeswoman for the city's law department said in an e-mail on Monday that the city had not received a copy of the lawsuit but would review it upon its arrival.

What goes around comes around, Tony.
