local police?
  • United States police departments do not buy gas
    masks, smoke bombs, teargas and other riot gear
    from the government-run site that is sold to
    military and police forces abroad. Those products
    are largely sold by a number of private
    companies.
  • The global market for riot control devices will
    reach US2 billion in 2022, according to a new
    report from North America-based research firm IHS
    Markit. The size of the market would expand
    faster than anticipated if the list includes the
    teargas and pepper sprays used by US law
    enforcement agencies in clashes with protesters
    in cities such as Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014
    that led to the death of Michael Brown Jr.
  • Smoke bombs, tear gas, and anything else you can
    think of to disrupt a peaceful protest all
    given to law enforcement by private companies who
    make a hefty profit from these requests.
  • Do you want to know the company that provide the
    equipment like smoke bombs, tear gas and other
    riot gear to state and local police?

What company makes tear gas for police?
  • Police Equipment.Police equipment can range from
    batons, handcuffs, guns, pepper spray to the
    aforementioned gas masks and riot gear. Supplies
    of these goods can often come from an array of
    companies only some of which are not typically
    made by one firm. Within this branch of industry
    there are many suppliers who specialize in
    creating anything from batons for baton-wielding
    officers to heavy duty steel Professional
    Tactical Riot Helmet for those policing during
    riots.Tear Gas.
  • Are you curious what company provides the
    equipment like smoke bombs, tear gas and other
    riot gear to state and local police? You would be
    surprised that TASER International actually
    provides this gear.
  • TASER offers a range of protective devices
    including less-lethal weapons such as the TASER
    X26e, an electroshock weapon that causes
    incapacitation through intense pain. They also

What weapons do police use in riots?
  • The companys headquarters is located in
    Scottsdale Arizona, however they also have
    offices in 10 different countries throughout the
    world.
  • This is just one of their many products that is
    offered to law enforcement agencies worldwide.
  • I do not own this and the text and videos that I
    present is what I was able to find with 10 mins
    of research.
  • If you want to buy riot gear, there are two types
    of sources those which sell equipment to private
    individuals and those which sell equipment to
    armies and police forces.
  • The firms providing goods to the military and
    military contractors such as DynCorp or General
    Dynamics also provide riot gear. Among them are 4
    sellers who include TigerSwan, VADCO, Unisys,
    Woodbridge Group International.

Who militarized the police?
  • What Critics Say About Use Of Riot Gear?
  • Critics of the use of riot gear say it gives law
    enforcement more power than they need resulting
    in borderline militarization. Anummarie
    Mbengue-Lear thinks that giving police more
    weapons may actually result in more harm because
    of the incentives that increase along with more
    power.
  • Police departments around the country are
    equipped with military-style equipment to
    suppress protesters on racial, economic, and
    religious lines. There is a vast market of such
    businesses that provide this gear which has been
    on the rise since 1990s.
  • The Department of Defense (DoD) have partially
    funded most of these projects through a program
    called 1033 which was created during the Reagan
    administration. Military 1033 surplus then is
    transferred to state and local law enforcement
    agencies through a plethora of government
    programs.
