NEW: Tear Gas, Fires and Flying Water Bottles: My 3 Nights in the Throes of D.C. Demonstrations. “The core grievance that has sparked these events is morally unambiguous: American cops murdering black men. But on the ground, things are messy.” https://t.co/vMkGesCtvo — PolitiTweet.org

One of the police officers on the scene when medics were attending to this person said the cops were using “tear gas.” He seemed puzzled that it was even a question. Whether it was chloroacetophenone (CN) or chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS) is irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

This guy has asthma and was in severe distress after being hit by cops with tear gas in front of the White House last night. https://t.co/GG72KdqCCv — PolitiTweet.org

Per the CDC, “tear gas” is the term for all riot control chemicals. The police again used tear gas late last night in front of the White House when a few people shook the fence and threw water bottles. People were choking and puking. My throat is still burning from just a whiff. — PolitiTweet.org

Slightly nerve-wracking moment outside the White House perimeter. Police behind the new fence hit protesters with tear gas and someone set off these fireworks. Everyone is a little on edge as a small crowd remains. Clouds of gas still in the air. Helicopter circling. https://t.co/XLiq9skfQj — PolitiTweet.org

@EdFelten I think this is what I got hit with Saturday. These apparently flash, make a loud boom, and release both tear gas and rubber bullets. You can see it this video https://t.co/Qe0AqPCVjF — PolitiTweet.org
