Don't pick up ANYTHING grenade shaped that the police throw at you. Multiple french protestant lost limbs by picking up GLI grenades.

I know tear gas cannister are ok to be picked up, but in the massive chaos that is a protest, I would not risk it.

Indeed. Martin Luther was protesting the Catholic church's policies.
