She's the best I've ever seen Oh yes, you're a liar.
NO tear gas.
A Tuesday statement from Park Police said it used “smoke canisters and pepper balls” to clear “violent” protests in the area, counter to multiple reports that peaceful demonstrators were met with tear gas.
“I’m not going to say that pepper balls don’t irritate you,” Park Police spokesman Sgt. Eduardo Delgado told Vox, noting they contain an irritant derived from pepper plants. “I’m not saying it’s not a tear gas, but I’m just saying we use a pepper ball that shoots a powder.”
The original Park Police statement ignited a semantic battle over chemical agents amid a broader discussion over whether the use of force was necessary as protestors demonstrated in Lafayette Square following George Floyd's death.
US Park Police say it was a mistake to say no tear gas was used in Lafayette Square
The U.S. Park Police on Friday hedged its earlier claims it did not use tear gas to clear crowds near the White House Monday, telling Vox earlier statements were a “mistake” given that the chemical…

Pepper balls are not tear gas. I have been in the test gas chamber on several occasions in the military. You don't know the difference between an irritant and a choking agent. Tear gas will **** you up.

Acosta lied repeatedly.
The real joke is when Acosta keeps saying, "some people [SIC]"...like DUH!!!
There are always going to be "some people" in any group saying the same thing.
Oh? How so? The park service said differently. Read the headline. What they used had the same effect as the stuff known as tear gas, according to the park service. Just another kind of deterrent, but not called "Tear gas". Stop splitting hairs. You know what happened, yes? Call it whatever floats your boat. Same thing.

"Some people" and "what do you say to people..." are his go-to strawmen.

They used smoke canisters and pepper balls. Not tear gas. Notice you didn’t quote their subsequent statements-
An updated statement on the Park Police website posted Wednesday still claims that “officers and other assisting law enforcement partners did not use tear gas or OC Skat Shells to close the area at Lafayette Park.”
Reached for comment, the Park Police pointed The Hill to a new statement issued Friday, which reiterated its earlier claims.
"USPP officers and other assisting law enforcement partners did not use tear gas or OC Skat Shells to close the area at Lafayette Park on Monday, June 1," the agency said.
And this-
But Monahan said USPP did use “smoke canisters and pepper balls.” USPP spokesman Sgt. Eduardo Delgado told us: “We did not use CS or chlorobenzalmalononitrile, commonly referred to as ‘tear gas’ which is often used as a non-lethal option in law enforcement. I am unaware of the brand of pepperball used.”
Thomas Kearney, associate dean and professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of California San Francisco and co-author of a 2014 study on pepper spray injuries, told us he didn’t have knowledge about these particular “pepper ball” devices, but that the USPP “was probably referring to an OC containing lacrimator. Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) is the active ingredient of peppers and activates the TRPV1 pain receptor. Whereas CS & CN have different receptors and were more toxic,” he said in an email, referring to chloroacetophenone.
He said he believed the terms were used “interchangeably- tear gas vs lacrimator.” A “lacrimator,” of course, is a substance that produces tears, and both CS and OC do that.
The Semantics of 'Tear Gas' Versus 'Pepper Spray' - FactCheck.org
Democratic politicians have criticized President Donald Trump for the use of "tear gas" to disperse protesters near the White House on June 1 before Trump walked to St. John's Episcopal Church to pose for photos with a Bible. The president countered, "They didn't use tear gas."
