    Media Falsely Claimed Violent Riots Were Peaceful And That Tear Gas Was Used Against Rioters ( https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/0...l-and-that-tear-gas-was-used-against-rioters/ )

    The above linked article by Mollie Hemingway has mutliple examples of media outlets saying tear gas was used.

    Below is the truth:

    "No tear gas was used by USPP officers or other assisting law enforcement partners to close the area at Lafayette Park." ~Statement from United States Park Police acting Chief Gregory T. Monahan about the actions taken over the weekend to protect life and property ( https://www.nps.gov/subjects/uspp/6_2_20_statement_from_acting_chief_monahan.htm )

    Color me shocked! (that was sarcasm) These obviously biased liberal media outlets should have fact checked themselves instead of being blatant liars.

    Well, I will give you the benefit of the doubt (one time offer) that you aren't referring to the Trump Church Walk, where tear gas WAS used to clear the way.

    I'm guessing you are safe here because your quote from the Park guy referred to "over the weekend", when the Church Walk was on Monday...

    Amiright?

    EDIT - Ohhhhh... I see your angle here.... you think you are safe by using the term "Tear Gas"....

    Gotcha... a stickler for accurate naming...

    SNIP
    The US Park Police on Tuesday disputed using tear gas on the protesters, stating that "smoke canisters and pepper balls" were employed.
    ENDSNIP

    Let's just agree that something called a "pepper ball" might be likely to cause tears.....

    Why wasn't tear gas used? These protestors have the brain power of a lima bean. They need to be pushed back.

    The left wing media completely lied about it It's tragic that they continue to support the violent terrorist,, and spread a false narrative to create more divided.

    The left doesn't care about George, they don't care about the millions of people hurt by the terrorist, the minority own businesses fire bombed....the lives impacted by their hate and division....it's tragic.

    1) it wasn't tear gas...which is a specific type of gas
    2) these folks weren't "peaceful"

    That about sums it up.

    I'm so f'ing sick of the media trying to brainwash the low IQ crowd. We've actually got idiots defending rioting and looting now. It's the definition of insanity.

    Liberal journalist translation guide-

    "rubber bullets" and "paint canisters" = paintballs (the things that people shoot at each other for fun)

    "Chemical weapons" and "tear gas" = CS gas (chili pepper powder, made from the same chili peppers that make salsa)

    BLM rioter-looter-burner-murderers imbeciles in Boston defaced the Shaw 54th Regiment Memorial to black soldiers in the Civil War.

    What police have to deal with in prostesters is the bottom of the barrel people, the dumbest of the dumb, the stupidest of the stupid, the least conscious of the barely conscious.

    Anybody with a brain knows the 54th has nothing but honor due them.

    It probably explains why no libraries were looted in major cities.

    CNN won't report on David Dorn's death? Officer took one to the back of the head by a looter. Guess his black life doesn't matter.

    The left want their Kent State memorial to be complete with unarmed college kids (who frankly threw incendiary devices at police) draped over their immoral outrage. So, for liberals, who cares if a few privileged white kids get shot... It's all for the greater glory of the revolution....

    The media was right the Putin/Trump administration orders the shooting and gassing of peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park so
    a hateful non-religious hypocritical President can carry a bible around merely as a photo op. Trump has always shown contempt for democracy and the American people! From "THE HILL."

    THANKS for this pure propaganda. Here's the real story: The Putin/Trump administration orders the shooting and gassing of peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park so

    Yes, when you refer to your post, it is nothing but the propaganda. How's the spring going this year in Moscow?

    Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) admitted to MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Wednesday that authorities might not have used tear gas, after all, as the media and former Vice President Joe Biden had claimed earlier in the week.

    My post has solid evededence
    Your post is pure propaganda with 0 evidence and supports Trumps need to deceive the American People at all times. He hates free speech, the legal right to protest peacefully and for the American Public to know the truth. Then this ass has the nerve to walk around with a bible after gassing and shooting protesters in the park for a photo op. He is a worse disease than Covid -19 itself. This video is from the esteemed on line magazine called "The Hill'
