pepper spray is for protecting yourself, not just something you do before an arrest

No, not at all. The police went to this group of kids and told them they were going to be arrested. Instead of standing up and putting their hands behind their backs, they remained seated with their arms locked. The police at that point had two options - Either pepper spray them, or physically separate them with their night sticks. I'm guessing being physically separated by force by men with night sticks is a lot more painful.
Your trying to make this out to be police brutality. It's not. Police brutality is when they beat you over the head with night sticks - not when they try to peacefully arrested someone who is resisting arrest.

You don't get pepper sprayed when you get pulled over - Unless there is a huge incident and you resist arrest.
I got pulled over in 2004 for a full felony stop. Long story, but I pulled away from a marked cop at a high rate of speed. Other than speeding, I had done nothing wrong but the cops thought I was running. A full felony stop meant me laying on the pavement with a cop's knee in my back while they cuffed me wasn't exactly fun, but I sort got what I deserved. And clearly it would have been a lot worse if I resisted arrested.
This is what protesters do. They bait the cops into arresting them, resist arrest, and make the cops look bad. Our grandparents did it for civil rights, and our parents did it for Vietnam. The cops don't give a shit one way or another. The cops were called to a dispute, college kids who failed to obey the rules of the school.
