This is a super useful resource for journalists covering protests, with lots of it applicable to protesters, too (includes some detail that echoes yours re: teargas).
I am reminded that when the Ferguson cops started using tear gas on protesters in 2004, the first to respond with tips to combat the effects were Palestinians who had experience with chemical irritants being used against them.
All liberation movements are always connected
My bona fides: few. I’m not a medical professional, and I don’t even have a ton of experience with these weapons. I was in one exceptionally hot protest in Seattle in the summer of 2020 as part of the Wall of Moms. The dec I filed in the BLM lawsuit is here www.courtlistener.com/docket/17234...
ski goggles are good for gas but not ballistic rated and you WILL lose an eye if they're aiming for the head with the rubber bullets like they were during the summer of unrest
better off with eyepro from a hardware store and crying or carrying a ballistic rated respirator imo
