Those giving the orders to attack such crowds are being counter-intuitive.
It might not be fair, but there is no government solution to changing it.

They don't shoot tear gas. You can clearly see it was thrown. And you ignore the facts, and physics, or what that tear gas does.

Now you need to explain to us the pressure-temperature relationship of gasses and how liquids become gas and to what extent.

This should be fun...

Is that your intent?
No, unlike the RW which would advocate insurrection or secession, I'd simply like to see true capitalism...no monopolies by huge corporations to stifle the growth of new businesses or other jobs here in America. Like Scot, I'd like to see a more equitable tax code and fewer tax loopholes.

The second tear gas canister was thrown at the crowd trying to help the victim...

This is fun...

Stuff and nonsense! It took decades of deregulation, the removal of antimonopoly laws, union busting and the passing of laws to benefit the rich because they finance so many politicians to get us to this sad state of affairs. Laws can be changed, such as repealing the Bush tax cuts and returning them to the level that they were under Clinton.

Those are your unions. According to some, your fascist unions.

No, explain to us the devastation of the chemicals used.

For example, when water expands into steam it does so at 1100:1 ratio. That will send your rigged up water heater through 4 floors and up into the air 400 feet, depending on construction quality.

Explain to us the devastating effect of tear gar and its expansion rates.

This is where science meets rubber and road.

This will be ugly....

What does that have to do with the actual canister being shot at somebody's face?...

Police enforce the state's request. You just mixed a whole bunch of economic and political theories of which you seem to know nothing about.
