Trump rally after math, or Antifa/BLM Protest aftermath? The rally looked peaceful and it was just people talking on stands.

I have high confidence it was the protesters

That's certainly an effective way to bring a tear to your eye.

3-4 arrests were made for this. A few tools ruining the message delivery again.
Corrodias
It's always like this, isn't it. Nice protest. Someone throws something. Police use it as a cue to legally shut down the entire protest. ยป
I don't know what else they can do, to catch individuals, but their crimes *ideally* shouldn't infringe everyone else's right to speech, eh?
Then the people who were there peacefully get resentful at the police for trying to silence them, and the cops escalate. What a cycle.
YOU FRIGGIN NAILED IT. These are the dynamics of protest. Sucks they ruined the message.

Everyone knows if you want to march with a mask in this country it has to be a white hood.
Or a Guy Fawkes mask. Or black hoodies and face covers, I hear those are pretty in vogue right now...
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
Nah, Black Hoodies and face covers still gets ya gassed.
whargarble
Not proper protocol. A teargas cannister shot can kill. Still funny tho.
myweaknessisstrong
It was actually those pepper balls they use now. They get fired by a modified paintball gun.
BlackIC
Pepper ball. Non-lethal round intended for that exact use. Not a canister shot.
*Should note that it's intended to be used while aiming at the chest, not crotch. Yes that IS an important distinction. No it DOESN'T make
this instance any less funny. But it COULD be dangerous. Would have to check what kind of ball they used. Taking into account it's not spain
I'm guessing it wouldn't be that dangerous because most countries keep good fucking regulations, but some don't!
FilthyRaider
Pepper Balls sounds like the name of Tony Stark's assistant in the porn version of Ironman.

Good thing we see why he is shot in the groin during the anti trump rally in Phoenix AZ, as the news I read left that part out.
Still painful though
What do we see that shows why he's shot in the balls?
Rantaf
Well he did punt the can and hurt nobody.
Falanxzealot
Whodathought that this would bring out all the tinpot dictator commentators?
Groznek
People questioning why he's wearing a mask. Maybe because of the history of disproportionate police responses perhaps???
The majority questioning seem to automatically equate being aware of that with being a bad guy. That's your Police State warning sign there

I don't think it was a reference. So that's why.

Yeah, except people have been seriously injured/died from riot control measures being misapplied *link in reply for length*
txlonewolf
Good
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
Pretty sure "Fuck you, ya cunt" isn't the kind of attitude that takes proper control into account.

zzzb
Why is that guy scolding them for using the term non-lethal in quotations
I mean... I'm not him, but he pretty clearly implies he believes the proper term is less-lethal. That is industry preferred, but it's not *c
c* something that's remotely standardized.
Lilithet
The dudes a professional... He's trained for this s*it, after all he even has his own gas mask.
ChlorideCull
I own a gas mask, it was $2 and it was totally worth it. I usually put it on for fun if I have to go to the bathroom after someone else.
raidleadergutts
Where the FUCK do you get a gas mask for 2$?
Auction sites. Surplus is nice. I don't live in the US, so availability is different.
another professional...
ItWasntSupposedToBeThisWay
This looks improperly applied as well. He wasn't a threat and nothing was gained by shooting him.
IwishIwereKeithDavid
I mean that's the situation we're in, normal people are supposed to be on their best behavior at all times, but cops get a free pass
CousinWillie
This guy was certainly behaving well...
So he deserved to be shot? That's sort of my point
I mean, yeah, gas grenades/canisters should be shot at the ground. The most severe injuries from them tend to come from them hitting *c*
*c* people. That is mentioned in the article/study. That said, in an enclosed area the gas itself can become overly harmful and even lethal
This was not a gas grenade that hit him it was a paint ball filled with pepper spray. With his mask on it would have done nothing.
freewheelinmind350
So happy to see you people standing up.
Hell yeah, makes for easier targets
From a shit cop's perspective, sure.
rowdypup
Standing up for what? ANTIFA is full of kids that haven't made it in life and feel that anyone who is successful is part of the problem.
BookerLegit
Antifa is an anti-fascist movement. It has nothing to do with people being 'successful'.
They proudly believe in causing destruction to property. And they only hurt their neighbor not the 1%. It's an ill thought out agenda.
No it isn't. They're anti free speech. They just call themselves anti-fascists, but they're definitely fascists themselves.
MDtheGM
how can a citizen restrict free speech? Free speech is a right to protect you from the government, not citizen rebuttal or consequences.
Not promoting violence, a citizen can't technically restrict your free speech as at that point it's just free speech against free speech.
That's not what fascism is.
Yes it is. Those thugs constantly attack random people & rallies to censor & silence them for having differing opinions.
opkraut
If you go to a protest with a mask, you aren't a protestor. These assholes only look to cause trouble. He deserved what he got.
gnargnar99
Should he have been wearing a white hood?
IncrediblySTIFF
If you go anywhere with a gun you are looking to get shot?
BlakePierce
Mask = protection from your face burning. Also any type of mask will prevent the white suppremicists from running your face, finding out
Who you are and harrassing you at work and home. A lot of police departments are infiltrated by white supremacists, so not much help
JollyRancherDildo
So the people in Venezuela are no protesters or what?
Venezuela is different than the US. The US has freedom of speech, and you don't get hunted down for protesting. Venezuela, well, you know.
NoSkellingtons
Yeah I mean I love breathing gas from canisters shot at me by police.
If bringing a gas mask to a protest means im not a protester, what is it when you bring multiple guns?
Then you're being an irresponsible gun owner. Those guys use them to intimidate other protestors, which is not okay.
While also true, neo nazis committed a terrorist attack while in force wearing guns and cops didnt deem gas or pepper shots to be viable.
I wonder why this time the gas came out. It certainly wasn't because people were in trouble, right?
CaptainLegot
I disagree, it's not necessarily looking for violence when you come prepared for what others have experienced in other places.
PancakeMapleBaconEh
Im with you on that if someone else acts violently and tgey use force against the crowd i dont want to be the one getting hit.
Jewbacca21
Why would you remain in the crowd tho? If they started shooting tear gas and rubber bullets, I'm out. Don't need gas mask to flee the area
Exactly. If I'm gonna protest, causing trouble isn't going to help my cause. If it starts, leave for a better spot and listen to the cops.
ANTIFA is all about violence. It's how they feel they have to spread the message. They are shitty cunts.
anakhasilver
Yeah, meanwhile the Nazis are so, so peaceful, calling for genocide...
I didn't hear anything about this being a Nazi rally.
grifasaurus
That's not what he said though.
That's the implication I get from a lot of people. That Nazis (sorry, Neo-Nazis) are inherently peaceful with only a few bad ones in the
entire bunch.
VinnieJonesDiary
According to the Guardian this was the police response to plastic bottles being thrown, what the fuck America?
Shooting people with canisters of tear gas is still not a proportional response. That might be okay in the US but not in the developed world
Throwing anything at police who are trying to keep order of a large crowd is a bad idea. Also guaranteed it wasn't just plastic bottles
Guaranteed? But I agree throwing crap does nothing
The water bottles were thrown AFTER the tear gas, not before. Sad right
So why was the tear gas thrown? For fun? Feel like someone's only telling half the story......
AmyWesterbank
Because some idiots (Named antifa) decided to once again assault people who were attending the rally.
