#1 Tomato paste would work better. Empty the water trucks out and load them up.

..and tried to light a patrol vehicle on fire.

A extra douse of gasoline does wonders to inhibit that too.

#2 Tomato paste would work better.

Why is tomato paste better than tear gas, Procopius2k?

#3 One - it's going to be hard for people to say as they wonder back to their holes that they were just 'bystanders' who happen to catch a whiff of the gas. It's sort of like the pillory for the marked.
Two - it starts to dry, becomes sticky and crusts up and attract flies and other wonders of nature. Hosing protestors with water just eventually dries (ask anyone who's had to cross an water obstacle). Getting the gunk out of every fold and crack and strand is another matter.
Three - it's "earth friendly" to those stuck around the the miscreants whether they be motorists, shop or home owners.

#4 OK, but nobody ever said "I love the smell of tomato paste in the morning!"

Teargas and protests at Berkeley - that's a serious nostalgia rush.
