Based on what I've seen of past protests, I think the normal escalation is to start placing people under arrest and physically carrying them to the paddy wagon, provided they offer no active resistance.

I think I'd rather get tear gassed. It wears off a lot faster once you get out of the cloud. Of course, there may be a tolerance issue there, since I've only been pepper sprayed once, and I've been in more gas chambers than I can remember.
