Police are using tear gas against protesters in the #I94shutdown. A reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in warfare.
The US signed the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993 to halt tear gas use in war, but will use it on protestors at home. #I94Shutdown

it's an effective non-lethal crowd control agent. Illegal in war zones because it can mask use of lethal chem/bio agents.

Good, they deserve tear gas/hosed off the highway. I'd do it for free. It'll be like the volunteer firefighters but more fun.

I'm thankful police use tear gas to restore order. I don't want to live in anarchic chaos where you can't use the highways.

Voiceless? Hahaha! This is a representative republic. They have just as much voice as I do. (More, since they are screaming.)
