I've never seen green gas deployed before. Is this placebo? Videogame green gas to play on videogame "green gas bad" but it's actually just coloured smoke?
I suggest this because he really didn't seem like he gave a shit about being inside it himself, and really didn't try to throw it far away.
This, absolutely. Their job is to intimidate and scare the crowd into dispersing and leaving. And it's working. People are immediately freaking out and running away. It plays into people's wildest fears. They are on reddit talking about the gas "crawling on the ground" even though when you look at the footage, it absolutely is not doing that. It's dispersing higher than the trees. Someone claimed [citation needed] that the can just says "tactical green smoke". Lot's of people talking about how dumb the cops are for 'gassing themselves", but If this absolutely was a chemical/neurological agent, the officers would be wearing protective gear and gas masks, and that is not what we are seeing here.
So they're hanging out grouped together in a fog that theyre the source of. So they're easy to find and wont be able to see you well from a distance.
This is also true. I don't mean to give them any credit for intelligence. I just figure with their bottomless budget, they almost certainly have a bunch of protective gear that's just been sitting around that they'd be itching to finally get to use if this were truly a chemical weapon scenario.
If they were thinking even a bit they would wear that protective gear whenever clouded im any gas, inert or not. Cause otherwise people will catch on to when a smoke screen works both ways and generally to the advantage of people who arent clumped togerher inside of it. If you throw shit at the cloud, youll probably hit someone eventuality and they can't see for shit on the inside of it.
It's like doing a non lethal boss battle in peace walker. You huck smoke grenades at the enemies who are all clumped together and then run in, cqc and Fulton em and then take the vehicle. You dont drop it by your own feet and hang around in the cloud. This is the opposite of how to use this kind of thinf
Yeah but in MGSV you chuck it into the back of a jeep and then drive around completely invisible to everyone as you spread smoke everywhere.
You are driving ahead of the smoke tho, they gotta do that
ACAB includes the pigs who are mentally 12 years old
so, all of them
and it also looks badass! such epic content for their socials
According to a source on the ground it is just a green signaling grenade
It probably isn't great to breath but I'm not sure if it's any worse than tear gas or other smoke they would use.
I fucking knew it.
