- I can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described
- Tear gas (which should not be used on children) (which was not justified in use against any of those people) (which should be illegal in general) should be skipped on the ground. They're launching it into the air. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
- I also can't speak to what's being launched in the video but the munitions launched over me were definitely tear gas.
- As of yesterday there is an injunction that stops the use of tear gas etc (except when a fed thinks they're in imminent harm etc). Even if the injunction is followed, this merits an investigation. It's outrageous that they shot tear gas like this at anyone, let alone a family-friendly marchFeb 4, 2026 20:15
- Witnesses described that arching trajectory, I watched a video that also showed a similar arc, then I personally witnessed the arc about 2 hours later at the same site. They did this to kids.
- I know this seems like a really trivial detail to get stuck on but this degree of escalation of force combined with zero warning is something I've never seen. For that to get unleashed on normies just moving along in broad daylight? Christ.
- Sadly. If you look at them, they think they are in mortal danger.
