Tear gas fired into lawns, houses

What's the law regarding firing tear gas into private houses? Is it legal for them to do that when their stated goal is to disperse the protests? And please don't remind me that the law isn't the primary factor in their behavior here, I've noticed. I'm just asking for context.

I fundamentally disagree with the Rev on this.

To my knowledge, every successful form of nonviolent protest has been accompanied, either under the same umbrella or at least synchronous, a radical element who was not above violence.

Read "Cities Under Siege". It's kind of plodding and textbook at times, but it's a great breakdown of how police forces and military forces have focused on urbanized warfare, and how Gaza, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. has been a laboratory for a lot of that.

I do to but at this point nonviolence is the only way to do it without being slaughtered plus I don't really like the idea of hurting people so we should try nonviolence until there are no other options.

how well equipped with flash bang and tear gas are those jokers? If the protestors keep this up for some time is there a chance the police runs out of steam and the municipality actually has to deal with the concerns?

They're just going to keep firing tear gas on anyone forming nonviolent protests until they stop, and this will all be swept under the rug.

It's either that or things get violent and citizens are slaughtered.

You went to a peaceful protest with a gas mask? Clearly, your intent was to stir up violence. Judge sentences you to 10 years without parole.

Given how hot things got today and tonight I'm extremely worried that tomorrow some cop is gonna lose his loving poo poo and open fire with real bullets.

At which point the cops will have the full-on riot they've been itching for.

Looks like a loving war zone. I've never even heard of Ferguson before this poo poo, why does some random town I've never heard of before have it's own loving army*?

Are those state police assisting or is this all their local pd?
