10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
"Chemical Irritant" - I'm guessing CS or tear gas. Scanned the article and didn't see it specified. Strange way to state things.
Note that use of CS and similar are banned under the Geneva Convention between armies. Used against civilians all the time by many governments.
trying to downplay the severity of the method used to " attack protests"
TIL: CS gas was invented after the Geneva Conventions that preempted its use in war.
Britain & Japan also helped justify its use in the US in 2002:
As recently as 2002, the U.S. State Department Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation made a firm distinction between "riot-control agents" such as CS gas, and "lethal chemical weapons." The Bureau cited support for this position from the U.K. and Japan.[10]
Yep, racism at its finest.
Not just racism, fascism.

Wait what happened to the 4th amendment?
Constitution? What's that?
Oh it's this piece of paper that everyone talks about when we talk about guns and speech but apparently only the first two matter.
Laws and the constitution are interpreted by the rich. Ain't rich - tough.
With respect to immigration it was suspended decades ago, unfortunately. Courts have long ruled our rights are subject to revocation as soon as the government has a "compelling interest." Which, apparently, this legalized ethnic cleansing is considered.
Damn you, patriot act!
What's that movie? Inglorious bastards?
In a German accent: "now you wouldn't be hiding any.... ~~jews~~ colored immigrants now would you..?"
What are their names and badge numbers?
Otherwise they are just dangerous criminals impersonating law enforcement and people have the right to defend themselves with force.
MAGAts plans are being ruined because nobody is taking the bait and becoming violent.
They just have to keep upping their level of violence.
They are desperate to cancel the 2026 midterm elections.
What a crappy headline. News outlets are taking quite the enablist role of late.
