In Palestine, first thing we do under fire is identify the type of weapons israeli cops/soldiers are holding. This defines your strategy for resisting + trying to be safe. Here’s a thread on identifying weaponry for those out there fighting across Turtle Island♥️

The best thing you can do with teargas is stay calm. Teargas tricks your brain into thinking it can't breathe so staying calm is key. Strong smells help remind your brain that it can breathe so bring alcohol wipes or alcohol based perfume and put it on the inside of your scarf.

In general (non-pellet) stun grenades are used to put you in shock. When u see them released, turn around to protect face from any small shrapnel, close your eyes, & cup your ears (don't close ears with one finger). Don't hold your breath or you'll feel intense pressure.

Most dangerous teargas injury is being hit with the canister (when fired out of a gun). Like bullets, they can kill. Unlike bullets, teargas travels slow enough to watch it coming so don’t turn & run when they start firing. Watch them shoot it & dodge. Move calmly upwind.

You can put a bucket over the teargas to contain, or kick it upwind of protesters. Fireworks are a fun way to disorient your attackers. Balloons filled with paint & oil are a <gentle> way to take their vehicles off the road cause they'll need soap to wash it off the windshield🙂

Sponge batons are usually easy to identify because cops will wear a belt like in this photo of israeli police. With sponge baton, like most of "nonlethal" projectiles, u usually have 1-2 secs from when u hear the shot b4 you're hit. Turn, bow, & use arms to protect head/neck.

Take a bow away from shooters & protect ur neck/head with your arms but DO NOT CROUCH/GET DOWN. Theyre *supposed* to fire these at leg level & getting down could just expose ur head. Again, u usually have 1 sec to do this (unlike live ammo which hits by the time u hear the shot)

As I explain in this previous thread, for teargas what you really need is AIR - not water or milk etc. You should not run in gas unless ur close to a place where gas is not present (upwind of it). Otherwise you could make yourself pass out as you run.

Identifying what exactly is being shot by looking at the gun of these types of projectiles is pretty much impossible because so many different things can be inside these cylindrical shells (see pics). Good thing is your response to these is the same: turn, bow, protect neck/head.
2

If they're shooting rubber bullets or sponge batons or anything like that, the speed is somewhere in between live bullets (by the time you hear them, they've already hit) & teargas which you can dodge.

The long cylindrical batons in linked tweet are baton rounds often made of metal & covered with plastic.
I've never seen these ones used firsthand but like most projectiles of this size I think they're shot from a 37/38/40mm launcher that looks like these
1
130
776
Before I move onto teargas - want to clarify that for all these projectiles, best thing u can do is take cover because u usually (as long as they're not too close) have 1-2 secs to do so. If there's nothing to protect u around, that's when u bow away & protect your head w/hands.

If pepper sprayed directly, you need to get to a water stream immediately, at least 3 mins of running cold water. A bit of water will make it burn way worse. Yogurt/milk helps your burning skin after. Don't go in enclosed spaces (like ambulances lol). You need air.
3
157
798
Rubber bullets usually take like 1-2 secs to hit you, depending on distance, so you have time to turn around and cover your eyes/head/neck to protect the most sensitive places. Those medical ice packs help for non critical rubber bullet injuries.

140
792
You can use their teargas against them. If you're comfortable w your threshold for gas (or have a gasmask or goggles/scarf) you can throw it back at them - or just throw upwind of protesters. You only have a few seconds to do this. Wear thick gloves because it will be HOT.

This is the other type of rubber bullet we're familiar with in Palestine. Cylindrical. The gun that fires them (pictured) shoots one at a time. They're more forceful than the spherical ones in last tweet. idk - are people seeing these in the US?

In terms of ID-ing teargas canisters: they can be short or long cylindrical metal canisters - or spherical rubber balls. See pics.

They *should* fire teargas angled up so it arcs down (video from Montreal). In this case: watch them shoot, dodge/see where it lands so u don't get hit, then A) move upwind if nearby or B) get down, cover face w/scarf, breathe slow into scarf til it passes

Identifying the guns that shoot teargas can be hard because from what I know the same gun can shoot a wide range of different projectiles. Police will often use some identifiers like a different coloured barrel to differentiate & you have to get familiar with your local PD.

Beanbag gun is usually modified w/yellow, green, or orange markings. You have to figure out what your particular PD does. Like other "nonlethal" projectiles, either take cover or turn & bow away -protect head/neck & stomach!

SOUND CANNONS (LRADs)
Talk of them in NYC. Emits an incredibly loud targeted-direction sound --causing vertigo, disorientedness, nausea & from too close - permanent ear damage. Ear plugs help a bit but tbh not much. They reach 300metres forward so u can't really run from it but..

Driving through the West Bank this morning. Israeli soldiers with snipers in position are at every major intersection 🖕🏽

I was so shocked they had such a simplistic idea of our reality & that they were so adamantly against critiquing the PA.
What is so complicated? We need you to listen & amplify the voices of the people and not the voices of internationally trained & funded police forces.

This linked thread on sound cannons is very helpful/detailed! Especially what it says about not trusting police to use it the "safe" way. My experience w/these has always been from at least 60~ metres back & it's been disturbing & dizzying, but manageable.
I'm seeing more word of LRADs (Lonf Range Acoustic Devices) being deployed at protests. Do not fuck around with these things. Ear-plugs will not protect you. An LRAD chirp at near point-blank range will cause PERMANENT hearing damage.
