I neglected to note there were TWO lies in the sentence I quoted. The second lie was "peacefully protesting." The protest had already turned violent when the mob started throwing objects like bricks and frozen water bottles.
Debatable. Varied reports.
BTW, although I didn't intentionally lie its apparent you don't realize PS is designated as a tear gas on the CDC website.
What riot control agents are
Riot control agents (sometimes referred to as “tear gasâ€) are chemical compounds that temporarily make people unable to function by causing irritation to the eyes, mouth, throat, lungs, and skin.
Several different compounds are considered to be riot control agents. The most common compounds are known as chloroacetophenone (CN) and chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS).
Other examples include chloropicrin (PS), which is also used as a fumigant (that is, a substance that uses fumes to disinfect an area); bromobenzylcyanide (CA); dibenzoxazepine (CR); and combinations of various agents.
Where riot control agents are found and how they are used
Riot control agents are used by law enforcement officials for crowd control and by individuals and the general public for personal protection (for
example, pepper spray).
CS is also used in military settings to test the speed and ability of military personnel to use their gas masks.
