I believe a lot of folks feel that way- I know a lot of folks who were pretty moderate in their actions and outlooks that have experienced the state using chemical weapons on them and who are now much, much more radical in their outlook.
According to the PDF (in its summary, p. 12): "Tear gas has continued to be used extensively around the world. While chemical irritants continue to be the primary crowd-control agent used by law enforcement and security forces to repress and disperse protests, there is almost no publicly accessible manufacturer or government-sanctioned literature on the composition, health or environmental safety standards on the use of these weapons."
That's pretty surprising given tear gas's long history. I wonder if it's a failure of research or of this report.

Pretti was unlawfully murdered for lawfully exercising his Constitutional rights.
Anyone still trying to pretend ICE is on the side of the law is delusional to the point that they’re fighting for Democrat control of the Congress.
Of course, you've forgotten that it was a Republican who once told you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. These days, the Republicans recruit street gangs and order them to see how many rights they can violate at once. A whole different breed.
Correct. ICE should do that. Instead, Trump’s deportation numbers trail Obama’s despite blowing the military budget of Saudi Arabia because Noem, Bovino and Miller would prefer to make TikTok videos than do actual enforcement.
Even if you adjust for that, Trump is about matching Obama’s figures. At 10x the cost. The amount San Francisco wastes on each homeless person ICE is currently blowing pretending to enforce immigration law.
