I do not fault the police for responding in this manner. They are trained to protect the public as well as themselves. When idiots begin looting and shooting, the police have to maintain as much control as possible which will mean treating everyone in the vicinity in a certain manner (using a more hostile tone, sometimes pointing guns, sometimes pointing pepper spray, and sometimes using tear gas). They are treating it like it is "Iraq" because unruly crowds and riots are uncontrollable and essentially are domestic versions of "Iraq".
