Interesting to see those who fired the devices attempting to wash the eyes of the victims.

Looks like the devices forced a retreat of the protesters.

Is there any defence from this sort of attack?
The teargas grenades that explode instantaneously are difficult to defend against because you do not have time to kick it or throw it back at the opponent. This is what they are using. You have to use hard shields to protect your body against the impact because it can kill, blind or maim you. Those used on the video clip above clearly release the gas on impact with a small explosion.

Once things warm up and the protesters do not back off they start using hard rubber bullets fired from shotguns. Over a dozen were blinded in Hungary in 2006 by those. They try not to kill anybody because the follow up brings more poo on their already dirty heads… At exactly 1:01 on the clip above dickhead in the lower left fires a shotgun; there is no sound of explosion immediately after! He had to be firing either a hard rubber bullet or a small “beanbag”.

If nothing else works they bring out the water guns with colored water to mark you and they flood whole areas with teargas spiced with chemicals that make you very-very sick for days. That shit literally sticks to the hard surfaces, you go back 24 hours later and the air is still irritating in the area. The chemicals do have long term health effects because they were designed to do so. Carry a gasmask and drink gallons of beers if you are exposed.

A few years ago they already used on protesters some new high frequency sound systems in the PA area. They have a whole arsenal of this garbage ready to use.

Good hunting!
