It was featured on an a recent NBC News program, which announced that the spraying officer, Lt. John Pike, was just awarded $38,055 in worker's compensation.

Poor officer Pike was getting lots of hate emails while on paid leave for eight months after his brutal pepper spraying of students sitting on the ground with arms interlocked.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Pike's pay for 2010 was over $110,000. Divide that figure by eight and you'll see that Pike was getting almost $14,000 monthly for leisurely viewing his hate emails. [1]
