They used CS, sure. But that is a highly common tactic used by riot police. It's not allowed in international conflict because its employed with much higher concentrations in those cases. But that agreement was signed in 1993. There are probably thousands of cases since the...

in which it was used in domestic incidents in low concentration formulas. Pretending that using tear gas is somehow a chemical weapons violation is fu**ing laughable

Son this is your government protecting its sovereignty with non lethal force, usually when a foreign invasion happens we use real guns with real bullets but this country isn’t China, Russia, or North Korea. Let me guess your handlers told you to make a fuss?

Old man, you may recall the Geneva Convention, which your government signed, which formalizes the process for requesting political asylum. The migrants are attempting to do that.

I support your cause, but the article you posted is from 2014. Should you use the word “just”?

They just shot it at the migrant caravan at the border today. This article is showing it was banned in war. Connect the dots.

Yet so often used on unarmed civilians

The catch, however, is that while it’s illegal in war, it’s legal in domestic riot control.

I did not know that tear gas was considered a chemical weapon? Is it stronger than home use? Probubly. So. Yes our Nazi gov. Is capable of anything. They are commited to using force to get their way. Ask the Kochs.

When you say “home use” I’m assuming that you may be thinking of pepper spray. The tear gas used in the article is a different composition than pepper spray and can result in worse reactions in some people.
