Actually yes that's precisely what happens[1]. Governments are very careful not to repeat the case of shooting of carlo giuliani in 2001[2] I'm not even sure why you ask about the tear gas and water canons though. Water cannons are frequently used as crowd control in German protests precisely to avoid live ammunition. Here's one example of an old guy getting blinded during the Stuttgart 21 demonstrations in Germany [3] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27th_G8_summit#Protests https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27th_G8_summit#Protests [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Carlo_Giuliani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Carlo_Giuliani [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Wagner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietrich_Wagner
