I am sure that riot police that saw this was actually grateful. The MO for protesters around the world is to haul the charges back at the police - he just disabled it. In my experience, the only cops who like tear gas are those who never used it. They have a whole barrage of cynical jokes about tear gas (~"It's only weather control device that works - wind will turn 180 degrees a few seconds after you placed the charge."). EDIT: Disclaimer - got some loads myself during protests but also have riot police in my family.
