#  Nice resource from Physicians for Human Rights

 Written by Gwyn Winfield on 15 November 2019.

Despite the fact that their title makes me wonder whether there is a group of evil Physicians against Human Rights, the PHR have done a nice series of fact sheets on various crowd control devices [here](https://phr.org/our-work/resources/lethal-in-disguise/). There are fact sheets on acoustic weapons, directed energy devices, rubber bullets, stun grenades, water cannon and, most pertinently, [tear gas](https://s3.amazonaws.com/PHR_other/PHR_INCLO_Fact_Sheets_Chemical_Irritants.pdf) (and other chemical irritants).

A useful little primer even if it doesn't cover some of the next generation of riot control agents. Thanks to the [Pandora Report](https://pandorareport.org/) for promoting it.
