ON JUNE 19T RIOT OFFICERS IN WASHINGTON D.C. SPRAYED PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WITH TEAR GAS SO THAT TRUMP COULD WALK THROUGH LAFAYETTE SQUARE TO ST. JOHN'S CHURCH FOR A PHOTO OPPORTUNITY. THEY WERE UNDER DIRECT ORDER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. CROWDS GATHERING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN PROTESTS SPARKED BY THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD ON MAY 25, 2020, ARE BEING DISPERSED BY TEAR GAS ON A NIGHTLY BASIS. I. CANT BREATHE! JUSTICE NO PEACE BREONNA TAYLOR TEAR GAS, WHICH IS ACTUALLY A GROUP OF DIFFERENT CHEMICALS AND NOT A GAS AT ALL, HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN USED TO CONTROL RIOTS AND AS A FORM OF CHEMICAL WARFARE. A STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF CHILE HAS ALSO FOUND THAT TEAR GAS MAY HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON PREGNANT WOMEN- RESULTING IN MISCARRIAGES AND HARMING DEVELOPING BABIES. THERE'S A PROBABILITY THAT THE CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES IN TEAR GAS CAN AFFECT REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION, DAMAGE THE FETUS IN THE LAST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY AND CHILDREN IN THE FIRST YEARS OF LIFE. CAN INDUCE COUGHING, RESPIRATORY FAILURE, VOMITING ANDA FEELING OF CHOKING. IT CAN ALSÓ CAUSE EYE-BURNING OR BLURRED VISION, AND INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE. ANDREI TCHERNITCHIN, A TOXICOLOGY EXPERT AT THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHILE, LATINAMERICAN NEWS DISPATCH, MAY 19, 2011. IN 2012, U.S. NOT-FOR-PROFIT PHYSICIANS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS DOCUMENTED INCREASED NUMBERS OF MISCARRIAGES IN BAHRAIN AFTER PROTESTERS WERE EXPOSED TO TEAR GAS, WHILE IN THE 1980'S THE UNITED NATIONS CONNECTED TEAR GAS USE TO AN UPTICK OF MISCARRIAGES IN OTHER AREAS OF THE MIDDLE EAST. AS DEMONSTRATORS WORLDWIDE CONTINUE PROTESTING SYSTEMIC RACISM AND POLICE BRUTALITY, SCIENTISTS SPECULATE THAT THE PERSISTENT USE OF TEAR GAS COULD POTENTIALLY CATALYZE A NEW WAVE OF COVID-19, WHICH HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN OVER 115,000 DEATHS IN THE U.S. HANDS JUP DON'T SHOOT WENCE V IOLENCE ACKS TIVES ATTER CITIES SUCH AS SEATTLE HAVE ISSUED STATEMENTS DECLARING A BAN ON THE USE OF TEAR GAS, YET, PROTESTERS THERE CONTINUE TO BE BOMBARDED. THE U.S. IS PROHIBITED FROM USING TEAR GAS IN CONFLICTS ABROAD, BUT STILL USES IT ÄT HOME FOR DOMESTIC RIOT CONTROL PURPOSES. WITH ALL THAT WE KNOW - AND DON'T YET KNOW- ABOUT THE WAY IT AFFECTS THE BODY, IT'S TIME WE STOPPED USING TEAR GAS COMPLETELY.
