  1. They cry out brutality and run for the hills when shot with a small caliber police revolver, imagine their reaction with automatic weapons. I think they’d die of a heart attack before they even get shot.

  2. No government on Earth will listen to your ridiculous claims. Let me guess, handcuffs cause health problems as well? How about you complain to America or Britain instead? Because that’s where the tear gas is coming from.

  3. Jennyoy Well there you go, you said the answer yourself. Are the police locking up protestors and exposing them to tear gas for a prolonged period of time? No, so why should you care? And besides, why are you complaining? If you don’t want to experience tear gas all the time, stop committing crimes. That’s the point of tear gas in the first place. It’s like asking why you got shot in the middle of a battle and asking the enemy to stop shooting at you. This is why other countries are using tear gas instead of bullets. To effectively disperse and control crowds in a non-lethal way. Or would you still prefer live rounds?

  4. Jennyoy It’s not like people are getting cancer or dying from tear gas. You’re telling me people can’t take a little diarrhoea and smoke? Breathing problems? Such as what? Coughing? And again, if you do not want to experience tear gas, stop unlawful assembly. It’s that simple.

  5. Jennyoy Okay, how dangerous is teargas? Care to explain?

  6. KK Fan Using tear gas to disperse protestors and rioters isn’t considered “misconduct”.

  7. KK Fan Utilising tear gas for crowd control isn’t equivalent to police misconduct. Off-topic. I do not deny that (or support) police officers may have used excessive force in isolated cases, there is always a possibility, the police have considered looking into these issues already. But using this as an excuse to justify the actions of the rioters, condemn ALL police actions, or even freaking disband the police force is outrageous. And what do you mean by “using dodgy ones that burns into streets”?
