Agree that it "looks bad," but would it be better if they had used non-US live ammunition the way they do in Libya or Syria? Tear gas is what we use on student rioters in this country, because it is relatively humane.
True. But with one dead and over 1000 receiving medical attention, it sounds like it wasn't just gas. And last January there was too much live ammunition used: some 800 officially dead.
