Community critics say armed officers feel more like an occupying force than a security necessity.

Police Deployed Potentially Lethal Chemical During Black Lives Matter Protests
For $33, you can buy a Defense Technologies hexachloroethane (HC) smoke canister for crowd control purposes.
This is what the City of Milwaukee paid per unit for 60 “Max Smoke” canisters in preparation for the Democratic National Convention in August 2020.
It is what Portland Police bought in 2018, and what Denver Police likely used on Black Lives Matter (BLM) protesters this summer.
However, nowhere in the U.S. experienced more HC smoke during the summer of 2020 than Portland, Oregon, where Homeland Security and Border Patrol forces deployed at least 26 such munitions against BLM protesters in July 2020.
People reported new, strange effects that lasted days or weeks after exposure. “I puked. All night,”
“This gas feels different and sneaks up on you.”
Other protesters and journalists on the ground reported similar bouts of
nausea and vomiting, along with
loss of appe e,
hair loss and
a burning sensation that lasted days after exposure.
scientists and doctors have known about HC smoke — and its potentially lethal side effects — for nearly a century.
In 1943, 70 people exposed to HC munitions smoke developed nausea, vomiting, chest tightness and a cough.
Ten victims died in the incident.
According to a study published in 1954, an 18-year-old man spent six weeks in the hospital after 10 minutes of HC smoke exposure in an enclosed space.
A 1963 report found that a fireman died after exposure to the smoke.
The clear and well-established danger of high concentrations of HC smoke inspired the military to issue strict guidelines around its use in 1983.

Warrior cops committing chemical warfare on protestors. Goddamn America.
I hope these animals lose everything they have.
We ask police to deal with too many things. Lightening their burden may improve their safety and ours.

House passes major police reform bill, but qualified immunity will be a sticking point in the Senate
the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
The bill includes the
creation of national standards for policing,
bans on chokeholds and some no-knock warrants,
measures against racial and religious profiling,
a registry of officers dismissed for excessive use of force,
eases standards for prosecution of officers, and
overhauls qualified immunity.
The doctrine of qualified immunity protects police and other officials from facing lawsuits over abuses they commit in their official capacities.
It tells police officers they will not face repercussions for even truly gross abuses,
like a case where a group of officers debated where to tase a woman for the offense of refusing to sign a speeding ticket,
then tased her three times while she was seven months pregnant.
Interestingly, after years of expanding qualified immunity, the Supreme Court recently sent a signal it might be ready to rein it in somewhat,

A SWAT Team Tore Down This Woman’s Home and Left Her With a $50,000 Bill
Police
blew open her garage door,
shot her house full of tear gas canisters, and
drove an armored vehicle over her fence.
by the time cops stormed the property, the fugitive had killed himself in Baker’s bedroom.
Baker’s belongings, some of them irreplaceable, were ruined by tear gas.
Even her daughter’s dog, which came running out of the home during the standoff, ended up nearly blind and completely deaf.
“There was two days that I couldn’t get off the couch, that I cried,” she said.
She’d recently signed a contract to sell the property, too.
The 76-year-old needed the money to fund her retirement,
but thanks to the extensive damage, the sale of the home quickly fell through.
