Comment on What's the deal with that scary-looking green gas ICE is using in Minneapolis?
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoKinda weird that the only evidence of it being HC smoke is a photo of the side of the grenade that doesn’t show the model information? Like this should be trivially easy to settle which model this is.

Kinda weird that they are shooting people in the head and lying about it too.
In the article, the expert is not able to definitively say that is being used, as the website is broken and nothing matches the munitions used.
Some specialized labs can test for HC exposure but only within 72 hours so good luck.
I don’t trust our government. And I don’t want to just hope that this isn’t as bad as it seems. I want actual accountability and oversight.

… Who’s trusting the government? I’m curious about the basis for the claims, afaik ICE hasn’t said anything about the smoke.
That said there are plenty of videos of ICE standing around in the smoke unmasked, and the MJ article above had found the same casing on a product that isn’t just isn’t green. The substack article that claims this doesn’t provide any more proof than a blurry photo of a spent casing.

I don’t think the burden of proof is on the victims of a tyrannical regime.

You just pick them up out of the gutter after it all goes down, ICE doesn’t clean up after themselves.
Burden of proof is on the person making the claims - and in this case I am highly skeptical of anyone providing such poor evidence who are then trying to make the claim that protesters should be afraid of the same green smoke that ICE is walking through unfazed. Even better quality photos would make this more credible, and for something this important it’s weird they’re not trying to appear as credible as possible.
