So, I'm wondering if wearing good eye protection and a half-face respirator with appropriate filters would work. Has anyone used that combo?
Best #GasMasks
On #TearGas, and what it means when the government uses it on civilians.by Sarah Jeong
Jan 29, 2026, 8:00 AM ESTExcerpt: "I was tear gassed by the government for the first time in July 2020 at one of the many #BlackLivesMatter protests that broke out all over the country. The feeling is excruciating, like your lungs are trying to kill you from the inside out. The sting in your eyes is painful, too. But oddly, after you’ve been tear gassed enough times, you mostly just resent the inconvenience of having to stand around and involuntarily gasp and sob. That summer, I learned the art of walking out of a cloud of tear gas — briskly, but not too briskly, lest you lose breath control and take in a huge huff of aerosolized pain.
"I thought about this five years later, as I watched Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi appear on Fox News after Customs and Border Protection agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. 'How did these people go out and get gas masks?' she asked, incredulously. 'These protesters — would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask, right now? Think about that.' "

Mayor of #PortlandOregon, demands #ICE leave the city after federal agents gas protesters

Comments 49PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — "The mayor of Portland, Oregon, demanded U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement leave his city after federal agents launched #TearGas at a crowd of demonstrators — including young children — outside an #ICE facility during a weekend protest that he characterized as peaceful.
"Witnesses said agents deployed tear gas, #PepperBalls and #RubberBullets as thousands of marchers arrived at the South Waterfront facility on Saturday. Erin Hoover Barnett, a former #OregonLive reporter who joined the protest, said she was about 100 yards (90 meters) from the building when 'what looked like two guys with rocket launchers' started dousing the crowd with gas.
" 'To be among parents frantically trying to tend to little children in strollers, people using motorized carts trying to navigate as the rest of us staggered in retreat, unsure of how to get to safety, was terrifying,' Barnett wrote in an email to OregonLive."

#BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.
BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

"In a statement, the LAPD acknowledged that the department is “currently outside the 90-day public posting requirement,” saying the delay “stems from the extraordinary volume and complexity of incidents that occurred during that period.” #teargas #rubberbullets https://laist.com/news/criminal-justice/lapd-report-less-lethal-weapons

Trump’s #Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” #Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming #Protesters
Since President Donald #Trump ’s admin launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year, federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons — #RubberBullets , flash-bang grenades, #TearGas and #PepperBalls. They’ve fired on American #citizens and noncitizens alike in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

What kinds of less-lethal weapons have #ICE agents been using in the #Chicago area?
https://chicago.suntimes.com/graphics/immigration/2025/ice-less-lethal-weapons-explainer-tear-gas/#TearGas, #RubberBullets and #PepperBalls have played a key role in agents’ attempts to quell protests — but what are they, and what can they do?

As the #DC #military parade took place, hundreds of #protesters stood outside the federal building in downtown #LosAngeles. People had been dancing around, before hundreds of cops circled the 4-block square without warning or announcement, leading to a tense stand-off, acc/to a Rolling Stone reporter on the ground. #FlashBang #grenades went off, & police used #TearGas & smoke grenades to clear protesters.

Some participants from the local rally joined other #protesters by the federal bldg, where people have bee protesting for over a week in response to #Trump’s #immigration #raids.
What was at that point a crowd of several hundred protesters started toward a freeway overpass but was stopped by officers on foot & horseback. #Police began pushing people toward an adjacent street, then suddenly turned to #FlashBang #grenades, *less-lethal* munitions & #TearGas.

#Police deploy #FlashBang #grenades, #RubberBullets on #LA #protesters
Police began #shooting flash-bangs & rubber bullets, then turned to #TearGas, after ordering a crowd to disperse following a demonstration outside the federal bldg late Sat afternoon.
The gathering there was separate from the local #NoKings event held earlier as part of nationwide rallies to push back against #Trump & the policies of his admin on a host of issues.#law #Constitution #RightToProtest

How to Stay Safe #Protesting #ICE — and What to Expect From #Cops in Your City
Do police in your city use #TearGas or #RubberBullets? Repression tactics from Seattle to Chicago, plus how to prepare.
by Akela Lacy
June 14 2025, 7:00 a.m.Excerpt: “The key really no matter where you are or what you’re doing is situational awareness,” said Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel to the National Press Photographers Association. “When you start to see officers on bikes encircling you, you need to have probably thought of this before, but certainly at that point, look for a place to exit.”

Thinking again about the Boys' State program in which American boys in the summer before their last year of high school are sent to a week long camp to learn about civics and government by being tear gassed between formation marching sessions. Except now it also includes being in an enclosed space while flash-bang grenades are set off. Because non-lethal weapons and marching are at the core of civics and government.

On Saturday, law enforcement officers used #FlashBang #grenades, #TearGas & #RubberBullets as they clashed with #protesters who came to the area in Paramount, which had been rumored to be the site of an #immigration operation.
There were hundreds of protesters when the #demonstrations peaked during the day, but their numbers dwindled in the evening. Several dozen were still protesting at 6PM.

#ArmedPoliceDrones Are Coming
Feb. 15, 2022 by Anthony Accurso (originally published in Reason . com)
"It’s not just hobbyists who are exploiting the near-endless potential of unmanned aerial vehicles ( #UAVs or #drones ). Law enforcement from all over the country—most especially federal agencies—are using, or making plans to use, drones to conduct #surveillance and #subdue suspects.
"Americans first became widely aware of drone use by the government in the form of #PredatorUAVs deployed for intelligence and offensive purposes, almost exclusively in the #MiddleEast against 'terrorists.'
"But drone technology has come a long way in the last two decades, with drones getting smaller and being able to carry more added weight than before.
"These advances have allowed them to become the perfect platform upon which law enforcement builds its surveillance programs. Drones can carry sensors for GPS, radar, lidar, range-finding, magnetic fields, chemical and biological sniffers, and, of course, increasingly high-resolution cameras. Federal agencies often attach cell-site simulators to drones—calling them 'dirtboxes' in this use case—to collect digital and cellular data from all unsuspecting citizens in a particular area, not just suspects.
"Further electronics and software innovations have made these sensors more efficient and capable than ever. #PredatorDrones operated by Customs and Border Protection ( #CBP ) are known to use a system called Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar ( #VADER ). VADER implements synthetic aperture radar, a tech trick that uses an aircraft’s motion to minimize the size of the antenna needed to create a high-res map of an area. By comparing these maps moment-by-moment, it creates a 'real-time ground moving target indicator' through 'detecting Doppler shift that moving objects produce in radar return signals.' Like the apex predator in Jurassic Park, these Predators rely on movement to 'see.'
"A company called #PersistentSurveillanceSystems has been operating a similar program, under contract by the #Baltimore Police Department ('BPD'), that uses software to construct a real-time image from photos captured by aircraft-mounted cameras. BPD can then track the (outdoor) movement of every pedestrian or vehicle in a 32-square-mile area. This is ostensibly to track fleeing criminals or generate leads after a crime has occurred.
"While only sensors have been attached to domestic drones so far, the addition of weapons systems appears to be coming. In 2015, #NorthDakota passed a law allowing police to equip drones with #TearGas and #RubberBullets. Also, documents uncovered by the #ElectronicFrontierFoundation show the CBP has suggested adding 'non-lethal weapons designed to immobilize' people to their drones.
"Laws have always lagged behind the constant march of technology, but the rapid development of drones and drone-mounted surveillance systems is set to pilot America into an omnipresent surveillance state where any and all outdoor activity—and maybe indoor ones if we get wall or roof penetrating sensors—is persistently monitored by police."
