I think it's fair to say they had a reason.

The question is, did they have a good reason?

I can't think of a good reason they would have had to pepper spray from a police vehicle as they drove by.

If they had a valid reason, why didn't they stop and arrest? Pepper spray is supposed to subdue a non-compliant suspect, not to spray and run.

Ultimately the police are supposed to be held to a higher standard. That's the counter balance for their ability to use force. When you take away the accountability and higher standard, then they're no longer a police force but an occupying one.
