Police condemn protester violence at a literal weapons of war convention.

a liquid irritant, some of which has been identified as acid

‘Acid’ hardly narrows it down… Often the cops will say it’s ‘acid’ when people throw rancid butter bottles, which obviously are designed to stink, not maim. They’re trying to bullshit the public into believing that protestors are trying to give cops chemical burns. Meanwhile, the cops are using capsicum spray, tear gas and rubber bullets.

Citrus juice, vinegar and yoghurt all contain / are acid for example

I was actually thinking it looks a bit like tomato sauce. Tomato sauce has a vinegar base and is mildly acidic, right? It’s also a red liquid…

Tomatos are plenty acidic on their own - if they were saucing people it woukd do it. Personally i woulda siracha’d (which has a heavy vinegar base btw) but i’m sadistic

I bet you that the police escalated the situation and are in fact to blame for the violence.

Police bring violence to bear, condemn it and blame others

Yep. The whole thing stinks. Cops have a nasty habit of either intentionally escalating, or at the very least, not trying to de-escalate protests and similar large scale events

The police didn’t bring any violence, have you watched any footage at all of these fuckwit protesters? They are there to create conflict.
