> Portland residents have the dubious honor of joining the ranks of US citizens subjected to chemical and biological weapons by their own government. During one of the BLM protests in downtown Phoenix they used tear-gas on the protesters because they decided to try to stop traffic on the I-10 and the police said “nope”. I was watching the whole thing from a live camera on one of the newscopters and as soon as they started popping CS grenades I had to go check it out. Hadn’t smelled CS since I gotten out of the military and never thought I’d see people getting gassed down the end of my street. In all honesty the police were pretty chill until they decided to try to shut down a major US interstate then they drew a line and held it. The police helicopter was telling people to disperse for quite a while (which is how I found out about it because I heard the commotion) before they started gassing people. I do know that the amount of CS the police deployed was nothing compared to what the army would hit us with every so often.
