leftists normally: f the police acab!!!!!
leftists during the covid: flamethrower cop arrest anyone who go outside!!!

sorry p0ke

Also, just got back. I was talking to a friend. You know that cops were using tear gas to hurt protesters.

generalization do be kinda fun tho

Flamethrowers are nice but the Germans will digress.

dude, what else would they use

Yeah these are violent rioters at this point.

LOL Tear gas hurts, but doesn't permanently injure.

tear gas is a quick and easy way to disperse riots/protests without any serious or permanent injuries

They could shoot people like they do in China.

If that’s what you recommend

gOoD IdeA

I'm fine with cops using tear gas

> Also, just got back. I was talking to a friend. You know that cops were using tear gas to hurt protesters.
@P0ke the only way you'd possibly get hurt with tear gas is if you decided to take a hard long hit out of a tear gas grenade

using tear gas to disperse violent rioters that refuse to disperse after police ask them too several times...

They use tear gas in prison against violent prisoners and during riots.

> dude, what else would they use
@RentalCleric You're saying tear gas is fine to use.

i am

yeah

Tear gas is good. (safe alternative)

That;s harsh.

assuming you didn't get dunked in the head with said grenade

what else do you do when people are in large numbers being violent? apparently asking them not to doesnt work

> That;s harsh.
@P0ke better then live ammunition or rubber bullets

I guess this argument depends on your opinion on tear gas.

or would you prefer the firehose

I'd prefer Kyle Rittenhouse

Fuck around and find out.

But it's wrong. Cops are literally not supposed to be equipped with tear gas. It's possibly even illegal to use it.

Would you prefer the cops use an LRAD?

It's legal mate.

wait... what?

LRAD, the make people go home

@P0ke How else do you think Cops can disperse crowds?

@P0ke in an actual military setting, yes tear gas would be illegal as it would fall under the category of chemical weapons, however, like Counter Terrorism Units, Police aren't held to the same standards as military personnel

hence why they use it

They're using tear gas against civilians.
