Officer who pepper-sprayed man for insulting him suspended without pay

Wnyt.com reports: The Saratoga Springs Police Officer who pepper sprayed a man that gave him the middle finger has been suspended without pay. The chief of police now says he's seeking to fire the officer.  Officer Nathan Baker stopped Adam Rupeka back on May 16. At the time, Rupeka had just passed the officer and flashed the obscene gesture. He also had multiple cameras rolling.  When the officer asked for license and registration, Rupeka demanded to know what law had been broken. After a back-and-forth of about 30 seconds, he was pepper-sprayed.  Rupeka claims while it may not have been nice to flash the obscene gesture, it was within his constitutional right.  Rupeka was charged with resisting arrest and driving with an obstructed view.
