Chile 2020, protestor handles a tear gas canister by dropping it into a container of water and baking soda.
I believe we need to acquire these skills pretty damn quickly.

I heard you can also just drop a traffic cone on it and fill it with mud.
Honestly this could be an entire Mythbusters episode…
I heard that during the Hong Kong protests that they originally used traffic cones to at least contain them. No idea whether mud would work, but a Mythbusters episode on tear gas would be amazing.
