Good stories and reporting on the issue of using “tear gas” for crowd control. In my opinion, it should not be banned. Its lasting effects are certainly less than a laser to the eye or a brick to the head.

A better tool for crowd control would be low-pressure water with an indelible dye sprayed on rioters. The dye would last several days and the perpetrators could be arrested later.
