This is typical procedure. They are not being STOPPED rot use tear gas. The headline is wrong/

"Cops will no longer be waterboarding Ferguson protesters"

There are ways to make articles go viral on the socialist networking sites...

I thought they wanted cops to use non-lethal methods.

US troops are not allowed to use CS at all.

I've had US troops use CS on me lots of times.

The worst was while in the back of a deuce & a half with the cover on, but open in the rear. Two CS grenades were thrown into that opening from a passing OPFOR jeep. It was only a FTX, but the CS was real. I saw them coming and managed to get masked quickly so I only cried a little. Two squads were in the truck, most got dosed much worse than me.

They can use it in training, but they cannot use it in actual fighting. How would Fallujah have gone had we been able to gas some of those buildings Marines were forced to assault?

That's true now.

Use of CS in war is prohibited under the terms of the Chemical Weapons Convention, signed by most nations in 1993 with all but five other nations signing between 1994 and 1997.

Better yet, find a way to get the thugs to protest in front of the judge’s house. Tell the judge how sorry you are you can’t do anything to help out.

Right. Funny how our government may use it on us but not on real bad guys like insurgents in a built up area.

What’s hysterical is they’re now going to have police officers do more ticketing of the people in order to close the revenue gap for the city!

LOLOLOL....
