For pepper spray/tear gas, you can use a mask with a filter soaked in vinegar. For flash there are cheap yellow glasses in Amazon that make the bang a bit more tolerable. For rubber bullets, make sure to wear PPE glasses and thick clothes, protect you neck and ears, because despite not being lethal, it might take your focus out, and that is the intention. Stay safe.

I'm so relieved that our taxpayer dollars are going to the purchase of psychopathic sparklers instead of healthcare. It would be way too radical, otherwise.
