Not what I'm asking.

I'm trying to discuss the correct use of force, not if the force is being used correctly.

I can often admit that what I wrote can be misunderstood but you and mdorazio seems to ho out of your way to misunderstand me.

Why?

The thing is, the cops STARTED this situation.

They should have their weapons and equipment taken away, like in most civilized countries.

This sounds like a distinction without a difference?

Absolutely not:

one is the question: if there exist a situation where the use of force is good, is teargas/cs gas a good way to apply that force instead of water cannons/ shields and sticks/etc?

This is the question I tried to ask before getting downvoted heavily.

The other question is if it is correct to use force.

(Or based on the amount of downvotes and weird answers I have got it seems more like some people think I support police brutality while other think I use the "think of the children"-argument.)
