Learn to recognize crowd control weapons. Tear gas, rubber bullets, & LRADs cause lasting harm. Flush eyes with clean water, not milk. Remove contaminated clothing fast. Use ear protection. Knowledge, calm, & preparation save lives when force is deployed. #NoKings 🧵4/4
contaminated layers of clothing if possible. Flush eyes with clean water (NOT milk!) Sudecon wipes work, too. Wash skin and hair with cool water and soap. *Expect to be out of commission for 20 minutes These chemicals have been known to affect reproductive systems and cause uterine bleeding. CAUTION CAUTION RUBBER BULLETS Munitions are touted as "less lethal" than metal bullets but can be just as deadly. Intended to be aimed at the ground from 50-75m away..but more often targeted at close range. Gas canisters have been extinguished by covering them with traffic cones or metal bowls and quickly pouring water in to snuff it out. LRAD SOUND CANIONS. + FLASH BANGS can cause permanent hearing loss and are loud enough to induce vomiting. Reverse riot shields can cut down on targeted sound and reflect some back. CAUTIO CAUTION
