Just a reminder that tear gas is illegal in war according to signed Geneva conventions by the US but apparently perfectly okay for US police to literally paint on unarmed protesters.

"Rules of war" themselves being an interesting way to allow certain nominally neutral parties to avoid taking sides unless the rules are broken.
