Police State Photo of the Day: In this striking photo by longtime Oregonian staff photographer Randy L. Rasmussen, an Occupy Portland protester gets a faceful of Mace during yesterday’s local Day of Action demonstration at Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Compare With: Joshua Trujillo’s now-iconic photo of 84-year-old Seattleite Dorli Rainey following a similar encounter with the nozzle end of a pepper spray can.

I once, accidentally, got a tiny bit of mace on the side of my nose and it BURNED for almost an hour - this. this…I can’t even imagine. Holy shit.
