TEOTWAWKIAIFF: The Civil Disturbance kit
Swimming goggles are airtight, allowing you to see without getting CS gas in your eyes. To breathe, you take a dustmask and soak it in white vinegar. Vinegar neutralizes the active component of CS gas. Hearing protection is handy to have as there will be gunfire, maybe even flash-bang grenades. The nitrile gloves are to help protect your hands, so you do not later contaminate your eyes or other sensitive spots with the CS residue. The black bandanna, and camo headcovering are to provide some anonymity as you skirt the riot to get home.

CS gas (2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile) is one of the most commonly used tear gases in the world. Law enforcement agencies have found this agent invaluable when faced with combative suspects, for riot control, and for alleviating hostage and siege situations. They use it to help control individuals or groups without the need for lethal force. Blackwater Security routinely drops CS gas from helicopters for crowd dispersal. This will be the prefered method of crowd control in the U.S. during the coming riots.
