    I would be wary of identifying any chemical just by a loose description of its appearance like that.

    Deploying tear gas on peaceful protestors is disgusting even if it’s not toxic. It’s no different than tasing someone for no good reason, or choking them briefly for no good reason.

      I mean, fair, I definitely would be interested in more information about this if anyone has it, but the description fits, it seems like the exact sort of dick move this administration would pull, and its probably going to be impossible to get any more information soon besides just the loose descriptions we have, so I’d say it’s more likely than not that this is HC smoke until more information becomes available.
