>There's nothing luxurious about getting tear gassed for 3 months straight
Why are you being tear gassed so often? I've been in US many times, for many months, I have never been tear gassed by police.

I got teargassed holding my hands up and chanting. Twice.
If the protest was deemed an unlawful assembly you were participating in civil disobedience where a police response should be expected.
If not, you should file a civil rights lawsuit.
Announcing an unlawful assembly is not carte blanche to dole out collective punishment or violence, either.
There's already lawsuits ongoing. They won't go anywhere in terms of reforms because individual cops are virtually always indemnified, difficult to identify in these situations (many covered their badge numbers and nametags with tape), and the city will absorb the cost without the department taking any real hits.
