Some of the messages give tips on how to deal with tear gas.

Don't Keep much distance from the Police, if you're close to them they can't tear Gas. To #Ferguson from #Palestine

Solidarity with #Ferguson. Remember to not touch your face when teargassed or put water on it. Instead use milk or coke!
