As a matter of record, the media story that Trump had rioters tear gassed so he could go to the church in D.C. is also false. The Park Police said they had no idea Trump was coming. They asked the rioters three times to leave as they were violating curfew, destroying property, and attacking law enforcement. They did not leave so the Park service took the action they did.
Completely fake news the media keeps repeating.
Key quote from the story:
"But on Tuesday morning, Park Police sources told WTOP that this was not the case, arguing that the protesters were not all peaceful, that tear gas was not used, and that officers did not know of Trump’s visit to the house of worship. The outlet went on to report that the crowd was pushed back when officers were being hit with water bottles and that protesters had climbed onto the top of a structure at the north end of Lafayette Square that had been attacked and burned a day earlier.”
Park Police reportedly say protesters near the White House were pushed back by riot police on Monday evening because they were attacking police officers, not because of a visit by President Trump to a nearby church that had been set alight the night before.

Park Police LIED. They now admit they used teargas.
Sweetie.....you didn't even read your own link. But, hey you are a Dim.
From the link you posted.

You can abandon your moronic thread, now.
No tear gas was used douchebag. The media lied. Damn you Dims are retarded.
Per CNN.
Delgado said on Friday that the force still stood behind its statement from Tuesday, which explained that it had used smoke bombs and pepper balls to clear the crowd. The force has never said it used CS gas, a chemical irritant that the Park Police claimed they commonly refer to as tear gas, and stands by that still.
"United States Park Police officers and other assisting law enforcement partners did not use tear gas or OC Skat Shells to close the area at Lafayette Park in response to violent protestors," Monahan said in a statement. "No tear gas was used by USPP ... contrary to widely and erroneously reported assertions."
A spokesperson for the US Park Police said Friday afternoon that the department had made a mistake by denying use of tear gas to clear peaceful protesters from a public park outside the White House earlier this week. Not long after, the department's acting chief once again denied using tear gas.

pepper spray gas, was used..... often called a tear gas in generic terms.
It is not tear gas as the CNN article explained. One is a natural substance the other is not as you have said repeatedly. Since the media got it wrong they are now claiming they are the same thing. They are not.
they are both riot control substances that cause TEARING, coughing, choking, burning and temporary blindness..... yes, one is a man made chemical and the other a natural chemical mixture using a part of the Cayenne pepper etc....
yes, they are not the same chemical substance, but why in the heck does that even matter? THEY BOTH DO THE EXACT SAME THING! Whether it was a man made tear gas or a natural form of tearing gas matters naught.... what matters is it was used on protesters, along with rubber bullets, and smoke bombs, along with helicopter hovering and NOT on rioters, just to clear a way for Trump's photo op.
what if Obama had done that to you all as peaceful protesters for an arranged photo opportunity?
BE HONEST! You'd be outraged even more than the left is, over it!
