Chemical Weapons & Police Tactics
Modern police tactics emphasize the use of "less-lethal" weapons rather than direct application of force through nightsticks and bullets. Among the most popular tools in this class of weapons are chemical agents like pepper spray and teargas. While often promoted as being virtually harmless, these chemicals can actually be quite dangerous, but with proper knowledge and preparation many of their effects can be controlled or avoided entirely. We'll also cover warning signs that police may use chemical weapons, and under what conditions they are most likely to.
