Another ugly truth is it probably says "made in usa" on the canister.

Actually getting hit by a turkish tear gas is no different then getting hit by any other tear gas. the only difference is our police (i'm from turkey) aims the canister at your face.

We have sadistic cops over here as well. They will actually put it on q-tips and swab underneath the protestor's eyelids:

There's a good chance that is true: http://rt.com/news/turkey-teargas-import-us-208/

Turkey has bought $21 million in tear gas and pepper spray – mainly from US and Brazil – over the past 12 years, Turkish media reported.

I saw pictures on Facebook and Twitter, shared by some folks from Turkey, and indeed there were canisters labeled 'Made in USA'.
