Visual Investigation Reveals Aftermath of US Police Teargassing Protesters.

Forensic Architecture has created a 3D simulation of the Portland police bureau’s use of teargas during a major protest event on 2 June 2020, revealing that the city’s downtown was blanketed with gas at more than 50 times the level federal regulators consider “immediately dangerous to life or health”. The research renews pressure on the scandal-ridden police department and raises significant public health and civil rights concerns at a time when law enforcement agencies in the US and across the globe are escalating their use of teargas on crowds, including against protesters for abortion rights and police accountability.
