Images of Less Lethal Weapons
This is what the police are shooting at people out there. These specimens were collected around 9:00 PM on September 2nd from St. Peter Street, between 7th and 6th. They were shot from near Mickey's diner after the Poor People's March on Tuesday.
Fragment of foam-tipped bullet. This is orange; I have seen blue and green ones as well. Not sure what the difference is.
Foam-tipped bullet (top).
Metal baton round, which are fired out of a grenade launcher at a high velocity. They are filled with irritating "pepper powder," which is ejected on impact.
Fragmented wooden baton round, also fired from a grenade launcher. These have a tendency to splinter on impact.
Fragmented flash-bang grenade. The unexploded unit is likely something similar to this.
In addition to the above, I have personally seen paintball-like marker projectiles and (obviously) lots of pepper spray. There are confirmed reports of tasers (unsure of total numbers), as well as numerous reports of tear gas. However, to my knowledge (which is by no means complete) none of the gas reports have been 100% confirmed.
If you see any less-lethals laying on the streets, please collect & document them (but, please, only if it is safe to do so). It is imperative to share any information we have on police conduct, and in the event of a lawsuit, physical examples of their weapons will be very useful.

smell
towards the end of the poor people's march, as we approached the xcel but before the incident by mickey's diner, i could smell tear gas dissipating in the air. not enough to have any strong effect, but the sweet smell was present and my eyes felt a little bit irritated. very mild though.
No wonder
No wonder that your eyes felt watery because this tear gas is huge, it can be very dangerous. try to stay away from it.

The conference will begin
The conference will begin Saturday at 11:00 AM with participation in Toledo's largest annual street event, The Old West End Festival, and will move into discussions and workshops at noon, with a concert taking place later in the evening. Activities will resume Sunday at 11:00 AM following a 10:00 AM breakfast. For a variety of reasons, this is going to be a drug and alcohol free event, and we hope that anyone planning to attend will help us keep it as such. Accommodations and food will be provided for anyone in need of them, and we appreciate any help with food and sleeping supplies that participants can provide. Now is a critical time for anarchists around the region to be able to make connections and organize with others, and we hope this event provides a good opportunity for that to happen.Leather Lingerie wholesale lingerie Halloween Costumes We have the potential for some serious victories in the near future. Join us in helping to build a powerful movement and ensure the success we're capable of.

I think if police can use these to stop offenders/criminals/rioters without the risk of causing death or serious injury to those around them, they can only be a good thing.
