For those curious: there are actual several different gas/powder agents colloquially referred to as "tear gas".

CS gas[1] is one of the more commonly deployed ones in the United States. At least one paper[2] associates CS gas with long term heart and lung damage.

So the cops will get theirs... in 20 years or so.

That paper's already 30 years old, unfortunately. We can't even hold law enforcement accountable for well-attested acts of brutality currently; it looks like we're a while off from holding them accountable for slowly poisoning people.
