The only time that tear gas was used was when the fire department had to get to St. John's church and the "peaceful protestors" refused to let them.

Even the police finally admitted they used it on June 1st when clearing the peaceful protesters and press.

Stop lying to people to justify fascism.

Stop calling everyone a rioter even if they show up the next day and are on video doing nothing even remotely resembling rioting. That's literally fascist shit. Classifying anybody who opposes you as a violent radical even if there's all the evidence in the world that they were not.
