More debates!

Today, we didn't do much in class besides take more notes on the podcast. We also started a little bit of a debate in class as well. One topic that we chose to debate was on whether police forces should use tear gas during protests, in case they get out of control. Tear gas is gas that causes severe irritation to the eyes, chiefly used in riot control to force crowds to disperse. Now I was a little on the fence, about this topic because I think you shouldn't use tear gas in protests/riots because they don't need to fight violence with more violence. Another reason they shouldn't use this is because, this can possibly kill someone who may have breathing problems. On the other hand, I do think this is a good weapon to use in riots or protests because, it can easily get any people out of the infected area without much violence. That is basically all we did today in class, besides our blog.
