I mean. You can believe me, believe videos, believe the media or believe that both my mayor and police commissioner called it "CS gas canisters and pepper pellets." I have to assume they know best.

I can only tell you what I felt. My whole face was burning. I couldn't breathe. I kept feeling like I was choking on nothing. My whole body felt hot. Opening my eyes felt like hellfire. People were having asthma attacks and vomiting. Guess it doesn't look like that from a distance.
