I've been wondering if it is time to buy a gas mask. Seems like it will need to be standard issue for protestors soon.

Wow, what an unfortunately delightful article.
It probably is time for that, sad to say

My friend who attended said, “a daytime protest 5-10k strong organized by unions consisting of liberals, moms, teachers, nurses, and many many children and old people lead to a completely unprovoked onslaught of pepper bullet, flash bangs, and an absolutely astonishing amount of tear gas. It was terrifying, with that many people we were in serious danger of a stampede or being crushed. My eyes started to water and I got separated from my mom so I doubled back to find her, and suddenly the gas was so thick I couldn’t see at all, I felt like I was gonna shit my pants and throw up.”
Obviously law enforcement, apparently (according to other comments) federal - which would include ICE - did this.
One 5-10k person protest 😏
Five to ten 1k person protests spread out throughout the city 🥵
Leaf blowers
