Comment on What's the deal with that scary-looking green gas ICE is using in Minneapolis?
Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 week ago… 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.

The next time my community is invaded and everyone living within is terrorized with chemical weapons and lead, I’ll remember to go look for the proof in the streets for the crimes of the state.

Replying again to point out I appear to have been correct - other people have found the canisters and posted photos of the label side which show they aren’t the HC gas.

So… yeah, seems weird that the initial sources didn’t do this.

Yes? Good? Documenting their crimes is important?
