The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers pepper spray a “riot control agent,” which it notes is “sometimes referred to as ‘tear gas’” — along with compounds more widely associated with tear gas, including chloroacetophenone and chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile . Following the Secret Service reversal, the American Civil Liberties Union issued a statement noting that “once again, yet another federal agency is pulling back yet another lie meant to cover up the administration’s unlawful firing of tear gas and other weapons outside the White House on June 1.”
Cell phone and media videos of the crackdown showed peaceful protesters struck with batons and shields, manhandled by law enforcement, and apparently gassed.

They said that day 1. You said it was tear gas. Trying to rewrite your own reporting?
It’s called a “lie”...
Should have used a lot more than that to disperse those damn rioters!!!!!!
More of a verification. It was also suggested that it was pepper spray and not tear gas.
Better than a gun :) .....ummm, or maybe not.
Pepper spray is not Tear Gas. Had the crowd complied with lawful orders, these measures would not have been necessary.
