Shooting tear gas in a city means exposing anyone on the block to a poison. Young and old. Pregnant women.

I wish that tear gas were considered unacceptable and dropped from the weapons they give cops.


*sigh* Poor St. Paul. I hope you have some chance to experience the parts of our dear city that haven't turned into a police state, Lindsay.

This is all very disturbing. Will we ever be able to stem the tide? Even with a Democratic presidency and Congress?

Video of police using tear gas on crowd in St. Paul, MN. Crowd moves away, and the police keep shooting more and more tear gas at the crowd.

The woman featured in the video is Marta Costello, a reporter for a YouTube channel, "The Gnooze." She felt like her face was burning and wanted to get out of there, but everywhere she walked there were more cops with tear gas.

Tear gas should be banned.

Ok, as a fashion statement the robocop getup is just a bit over-the-top/embarrassing.

Wow, I bet they feel all manly in that get up...

Tear gas should be banned.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure that it is - in warfare. Chemical Weapons Convention and all that... There are specific loopholes for civil use.
