breast milk spray

Police say a drunk Ohio woman sprayed officers with breast milk when they tried to arrest her.

A spokesperson for public breast-feeding advocate groups called it "a... victory? I guess?"

The officers were upset to be sprayed, but as my mother noted, there are starving children in Africa who would be happy to be sprayed with that milk.

Sadly, the woman was not drunk enough for the officers to get a decent buzz.

The woman was found to have a blood alcohol level of .10, while the arresting officers estimated the milk had about 5%.
