I can only speak for Germany, but tear gas usage during protests/riots is pretty common. Don't think rubber bullets get used though.

Maybe that changed recently? I was at many protests in Germany and I have never encountered tear gas.

I need to correct myself, this seems to happen also in Germany, but I have never seen the use of grenades so far. In another reply someone posted this video with typical spray canisters and other incidents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyrCiq_pQuo
