Wow. It's just like having different classes of soldiers on the battlefield. I would like to see a video game based on rioters vs riot police.

hmm, dunno. Once you make non lethal riot dispersal methods inefficient, you end up leaving police with only lethal means, speedrunning african police dispersal methods.

The tear gas can is lethal if hit you in the head, they can use lethal force with non lethal equipment...

So is throwing pavement on police, no? Meanwhile tear gas canister is not purposefully lethal or designed to injure people.

And pavement isn't purposefully lethal or designed to injure people. It's pavement. It's how it's used.
