I'm pretty sure the cops shooting tear gas into crowds didn't have any intentions of killing anyone (that's why it's tears gas). This was simply a case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time with underlying health issues. This wasn't a heinous and unjustifiable killing like some blacks go through with cops. It's not comparable. It is unfortunate though.
Excuse me, but what the Hell are you writing. Tear gas is banned in warfare by the Geneva Convention, but these a$$hole cops are using it liberally on American citizens. Did you even stop to even ask yourself why are they using chemical weapons against their own citizens in this country that they could not even use against enemy combatants in warfare? Of course it was intentional.
Chemical Weapons Convention and 1925 Geneva Protocol, ban use of tear gas in warfare
"...The 1925 Geneva Protocol categorized tear gas as a chemical warfare agent and banned its use in war shortly after World War I. The protocol was signed at a conference held in Geneva and took effect on Feb. 8, 1928, according to the United Nations website.
However, the text of the protocol did not go into depth on what gases were banned.
Under the protocol, the United States reserved the right to use riot control agents in cases of controlling rioting prisoners of war, situations where civilian casualties can be avoided. The U.S. could also use it in rescue missions to recover isolated personnel and outside of combat zones to “protect convoys from civil disturbances...”
Fact check: It's true tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war
Tear gas has been banned in warfare. Why do police still use it?
