Park Police contradict the White House's claims that it didn't use tear gas on protesters, admit they were 'incorrect' in saying pepper balls aren't tear gas
Park Police spokesman Sergeant Eduardo Delgado said in an interview with Business Insider on Thursday night that the USPP should have said it did not use two specific, common gases found in tear gas: CS, also known as compound 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, and CN, or chloracetophenone.
“When we were referencing the term tear gas, we were talking about CS or CN,” Delgado said, noting that the force was explicitly told not to use CS or CN via USPP radio during the protests on Monday evening. “It was just an incorrect term that we used, we should have said we did not use CS or CN.”
