Is cs tear gas?
a. Toxicity. The toxicity of zinc chloride is mainly due to the formation of the strongly acidic HCl, but is also to a lesser extent due to thermal lesions. These are caused by the exothermic reaction of zinc chloride with water. The acidic HCl vapour causes lesions of the mucous membranes of the upper airways. The damage and clinical symptoms following zinc chloride exposure therefore appear immediately after the start of the exposure. However, damage to the lower airways also occurs and may result in delayed effects. These have been attributed to the presence of fine zinc chloride particles and phosgene.
Acute Effects. In high concentrations or with prolonged exposure HC smoke is highly irritating and may be very dangerous when inhaled. Symptoms following inhalation of high concentration of zinc chloride smoke include dyspnoea, retrosternal pain, hoarseness, stridor, lachrymation, cough, expectoration and occasionally haemoptysis. Cyanosis and bronchopneumonia may develop. Due to the irritant and astringent nature of the compound, delayed pulmonary oedema may occur even in the presence of distinct and short-lasting initial symptoms. It is caustic to mucous membranes and can also cause subacute interstitial fibrosis.

The infowars crew had masks and they were still gagging. It seemed one landed pretty close to them.

All hell broke loose. Again.
That's about the size of it.
When are we, as a citizenry, going to stand up, mobilize, and say that enough is enough, and do so without fear of retribution from those who are sworn to "protect and serve"?

I'm guessing that maybe there was a mix? A few pics of canisters coming through on twitter and one is definitely smoke:

If tear gas was thrown down, bet there is a canister somewhere. Two different police groups there could also mean both were used, possibly?

When we get jobs that won't fire us for getting arrested for protesting. That's exactly why I want to be a professional protester.
