No, it's indisputably a clear fact. Spinning it however you want it to mean doesn't change the reality of its existence. They are armed with "weaponized" tear gas. Nothing changes that.
I would like to point out again that the NYPD has not once used tear gas, weaponized or otherwise. They've used pepper spray. Not sure if it is of the weaponized variety, though. Again, propaganda takes the forefront instead of the truth. Italy, so far, is the only nation to use tear gas against protestors; but that was after it turned from protest into riots with vandalism.
