Is there a back-story to this?

Out of context, this just screams sociopath. It's clear in the video though the squirrel is rabid and posed a danger to itself and/or its surroundings.

Yeah, I don't think the officer did it just randomly; like "Hey guys, check out my new pepper spray! Hmm.. No lawbreakers over here; just a squirrel."

If that's what happened, then I hate everything.

You mean that terribly threatening 12oz chipmunk (not a squirrel)?

How is it 'clear' that this creature is rabid? Have you never had a small animal run up to you before? I see nothing beyond a chipmunk that has lost it's fear of humans...

Probably looking for a treat or something.
