Why, are you afraid the neo-nazis will respond with sarin gas or something?
The reason chemical weapons are prohibited in war is because chemical warfare using mustard gas, sarin gas, etc. is horribly painful to people, and affects anyone in the area, including medical personnel, civilians, and prisoners of war. Using pepper spray and tear gas in riot control doesn’t have that problem.
Oh, I don’t know, riot shields? Cordoning off specific areas? Arrests? I can’t believe this site thinks cops attacking protestors (even Nazis) is totally cool and good. I guess you missed the part of the article where the cops just let the Nazis continue harassing people after the pepper spray was deployed.
Ahh yes, riot shield, standing there, menacingly, until rioters decided to disperse by themselves.
Cordoning off specific areas?
Ahh yes, cordoning off the area and the rioters will never find way through it.
Arrests?
Ahh yes, arrest, where the rioters will willingly cooperate.

it’s very much depend on who did the protest and what the protest is about.
It’s nazi, it’s cool and good, It’s fucking nazi dude, not a hill worth dying on. It’s good that cop punch bad people and nazi are bad people deserved to be punched. It’s a circle block in a circle hole, the reaction is just fitting. No one defending their right exactly because they are nazi.

You can’t both protest on the right to not get pepper sprayed and then also protest against the right to protest. You could’ve point out the protestor is the first one getting pepper sprayed and then the nazi, then we have a case, but nope you have to defend the nazi but missed the one worth defending.
Dude, I’m pro-civil rights, not pro-Nazi. I don’t want cops attacking people. When the cops leave, attack the Nazis, but cops are an arm of the government. Forgive me that I’m not cheering about the state’s monopoly on violence and the zeal they demonstrate when using it.
Yay, chemical weapons being used on civilians! /s I hate Nazis too, but anyone celebrating this is fucking dumb.
Pepper spray on neo-Nazis is self-defense. Their mere existence is a threat.
Not if you’re an agent of the state, oh my god. That’s a bad thing. Dropkick your local Nazi as a random person, but cops doing this isn’t good.

How do you prefer them dispersing rioters if not non-lethal weapon?
