Police have used this tactic for decades. Water cannons come with special tanks for the dye. The best counter measure was in South Africa where the demonstrators got one of the cannons and sprayed it back on government buildings.https://www.amusingplanet.com/2012/05/fighting-protesters-with-colored-water.html …
BREAKING: Hong Kong Police for the first time deployed water cannons infused with blue dye. The idea is to identify protesters and facilitate arrests. Carrie Lam reportedly told her cabinet that she would “lock them all up.” Looks like she meant what she said.pic.twitter.com/N10HzNggk8

Use vaseline. We do the same for Holi. If you can’t afford Vaseline use coconut oil.

Stay safe. Please apply soda powder with water shortly after being sprayed as it's hardly to be removed afterwards. If you feel shortly painful then, remove the chemicals on the skin with dry cloth or tissue paper first as water will intensifies the effect of it.
