Reputable military never use tear gas, etc. It's a chemical weapon, and hard to distinguish from lethal ones. So it would invite a Sarin/GB/VX response from enemy, which they don't want.

Is there any way to bring back a section of the Internet to those of us who want it to stay in the 2003-2010 and before era? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I write a tech blog on Gemini ( https://geminiprotocol.net/) , and read other people's blogs from the Antenna aggregator on that network . IRC is still quite active for some topics, again on the tech theme libera.chat is the place to go now.
