    I personally don't view The Atlantic badly, but it frequently gets accused of being liberally-biased.

    Here's an article about the same story from the National Review:

    • It is being claimed that tear gas was actually used.

At this point the video and testimonial evidence I've seen say the opposite, so the balance of the evidence supports the protestors being peaceful.

            You've been doing that for two pages now. Ignoring what the officials say and posting crap from twitter and trying to rationalize it with something from the CDC. Pepper balls are not "tear gas"

              I posted the images that I have seen which show cartridges of chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS). If you don't like what the CDC says then take it up with them. I'm not a biologist, chemist, or weapons expert so all I can do is lean on those who are.

              The videos I've seen (and you've seen obviously) have not supported the claim that the protestors were violent. Absence of proof is not proof of absence but absence of evidence *is* evidence of absence. Given the number of police from various agencies on the scene, the incredibly bad optics from this whole fiasco, and the fact that any number of protestors would have been filming the protest we should expect *some* clear evidence of this violence to show up by now.

                Oh look I posted a picture of a tank. That means they used tanks to subdue the protestors.

                  That tank probably *was* used to subdue protestors. Though it is notable you couldn't find an American tank to post as your "counter example."

                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      Sources say that Trump deployed his personal army of death robots to deal with the "peaceful" protestors.

                      According to unnamed witnesses, several protestors were reduced to ashes by the robots' death rays.

                            They're heavily influenced by Trump's infantilism. Watch how they pretend that Trump didn't tweet a picture accusing Antifa of planting piles of bricks in front of a synagogue, only to delete it later when they discovered it was a security barrier.

                            They're "Christian." Never forget that.

                              I miss that show. I must have watched the entire Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker episodes when I was younger.

                                Pertwee is one of my favorites! I was a fan of the show until recently when they decided that the Doctor could change genders, and then the whole thing became unbearably "woke".
