Tear Gas & Alternatives

 First, please note that I am a veteran of dangerous military service and like civilian "work". During that latter employment, with a State "Corrections Department", I was required to take (Without weapons or tear gas or pepper spray) convicted criminals into physical custody.  For the most part they cooperated; But, the "others" were subjected to "pain compliance" by use of bar-and-wrist locks. No "choke holds" were used.

Tear Gas (And pepper spray) allows police officers to control and disburse those mobs which, as such, "Present A Clear And Present Danger Of Death Or Great Bodily Harm" to those officers AND other of our good fellow Americans.

Those who view the use of such chemical agents as too dangerous to "The Environment" would do well to consider the alternatives listed below.

1. Rubber Bullets are, in theory, non-lethal; But, do present a great risk of serious-to-deadly "blunt force trauma". To be effective they must be aimed and individuals and, to prevent injury (Or death) to innocent others, aimed at the "Center Of Body Mass" OR in indiscriminate volley fire.

2. Allow mobs (Or even much smaller groups of violent criminals) to assault, murder, loot, commit arson, destroy whole communities and spread terror without any efforts to stop them.

3. Use the hollow point rounds from their hand guns or the "tumbling .223 caliber" rounds from rifles to immediately-and-effectively reduce the deadly risk of mobs, [That ammo is recommended as they are unlikely to pass through the carcasses of dangerous animals and injure or kill innocent humans.]
