    By painting yourself light pink you can fool a pig into thinking you’re one of their own. Oldest trick in the book

    this is both harmless and effective, but make no mistake, after a couple go rounds with this, they are gonna get the order to go live fire

      I don’t know either, but I would rather use a proper agricultural sprayer with a proper tank and hose. You don’t want to spend a century painting, liters per minute is what counts.

      …as for effect, it would discourage subsequent use of tear gas, because the gas mask would need cleaning.

      For the sake of sanity, all of those incompatible chemicals are accelerants and most are toxic, this is a good way to start with a cheeky idea of how to fight back relatively harmlessly and end with a massive felony conviction for attempted murder of an officer.

        Oh yes I’d expect some of what’s on that list would get you on a list if you tried buying it. Some of the ones that affect polycarbonate look to be paint thinners or the sort of thing found in oil based enamel paint.
        Absolute pain in the star to remove enamel paint. Edit: not even gonna change that auto text 🤣

          Nono, none of them would get you on a list for buying them, they’re basically all common industrial and even household solvents or stuff you’d find in the pool chemical aisle, the issue is you’re effectively suggesting dousing riot police with gasoline as well as things that burn if they get on your skin. Damaging the riot shield is the least of the concerns here. If you did this, they would (rightfully) assume you were trying to SET THEM ON FIRE and you might succeed accidentally given how pyrotechnic riot control can get. This is likely to just get you shot.

    You have to start by sawing the glass around the end of your light bulb with a sharp knife until its visibly cut into.Then you tap it off with a screwdriver

    Even easier is grasp the lightbulb by the metal base with the glass down and the center connector facing up. Smack that center connector with a heavy spoon or light hammer and it will shatter the porcelin and center support. Leaving you a hollow light bulb with a hole in the end. Takes some practice but super easy once you get the hang of it. It also leaves the threaded base intact so you can seal it with a bottle cap and tape instead of messing with wax.

    When they go to wipe it the glass etching solution will cause the sand to scratch and etch huge gouges in the surface of Plexiglas.

    2 problems here. 1. Plexiglass is resistant to common chemical glass etching solutions. 2. Those solutions contain some nasty chemicals and acids, FAR from harmless. Might as well be flinging battery acid or drain cleaner at that point.

      I was just thinking, how is anything that can eat into glass not going to be corrosive to skin?

        hydrofluoric acid HF eats glass but if it gets on your skin in smaller amounts it will mostly just penetrate it, leaving it mildly irritated for some time. There it starts dissolving calcium from your bones and attacking nerves. HF be nasty

    What’s the modern day equivalent of this now that glass incandescent bulbs are off the market?
