    Because causing people to sleep via chemical means without killing them is difficult. Anesthesiology is an entire branch of medicine for a reason.

    The police shot tear gas at a news crew. They've arrested journalists. Its clearly part of an attempt by an inept police department to control a situation they escalated beyond their ability to control.

    More fantasy.

    It's one video, from one news agency, which I said doesn't depict what people are claiming it does. But please, by all means, continue erecting more arguments I've not made so you can be witty and edgy.

    Also Tiny, if you look at the picture then you look at the video you can see they're clearly not the same incident. That photo is covered in gas, where as in the video its clear until the attack. Additionally that canister is already discharging and the one in the video is not until it lands.

    Hey, look at that, another argument I never made:

    "This photo depicts the canister being tossed at the reporters." Keep it coming, Wells!

    Nope. Local news witnessed it too.

    So you admit you have no evidence any other than the police fired the tear gas. Great! Progress!

    You made up an argument for me, and then defeated it. Well done!

    You responded to "Those ones must've been fired by someone else, right?" with a picture of a protester throwing a tear gas canister back at the police.

    The only one making shit up about your posts here is you.

    Cops fired gas at reporters. You were wrong.

    Please, point out where I said "The police didn't fire the tear gas." I'll wait.

    You keep repeating there is no proof, that we need to wait and see, that there isn't evidence.

    You are wrong. The police clearly did it.

    For instance you said this:

    I guess it's impossible that one of them landed by the reporters.
    This is incorrect. It was clearly the police as seen on video from multiple sources

    Oh wait, I just said it's possible they didn't
    Also wrong.

    You are, at best, woefully ill-informed.

    And reports from Washington Post and Huffington Post reporters that it happened to them. Deal with reality, sir.

    How do I make the tiny text...?

    anyone else think it's ironic that standing up to the popo is wrong when THEY do it, but totally cool when Mr. Kong wants his AR-15? I sure do.

    Hey, someone else calling me a gunner despite the fact that I've never owned one! All the best of MMO-C is merging into one thread.

    One video from the same source reported on by multiple outlets. Unless there is additional video of the same incident?

    You've engaged me in arguments about gun ownership. Address my point, if you would be so kind.

    Another POV of the police firing the tear canister at them.

    Note the conspicuous lack of protesters.

    This is frankly, really god damn fucking stupid.

    It happened. There is no factual room for debate here. The police attacked journalists.

    You need to be informed of your inaccuracies regarding your comparison of Lerner evidence and this? Really?

    What about this makes you think your position makes any sort of sense?

    Thank you for confirming. There were two points in that post. I didn't specify which one I was referring to. I assumed you'd go for the latter. You've confirmed that you don't read and/or don't care about reported facts.
