In San Francisco, a federal court jury is expected to begin deliberating as early as today in a trial involving a series of activists who were repeatedly pepper sprayed by police during non-violent protests in Humboldt County in 1997. Video recorded at the time showed police swabbing the eyes of protesters with Q-tips dipped in pepper spray. Police continued to do so even after protesters screamed out in pain. The incidents occurred during anti-logging protests in the lobby of the offices of Pacific Lumber Company and in the office of then Republican Congressman Frank Riggs.
