If that is true, then how does it explain this-
"The same tear-gas agent that the Trump administration is taking heat for deploying against a border mob this weekend is actually used fairly frequently — including more than once a month during the later years of President
Barack Obama’s administration, according to Homeland Security data.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has used 2-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile, or CS, since 2010, and deployed it 26 times in fiscal 2012 and 27 times in 2013. The use dropped after that, but was still deployed three times in 2016,
Mr. Obama’s final full year in office."
and this-
"order authorities also use another agent, pepper spray, frequently — including a decade-high record of 151 instances in 2013, also under
Mr. Obama. Pepper spray, officially known as Pava Capsaicin, was used 43 times in fiscal year 2018, according to the CBP numbers."

Is it wrong or is it acceptable? I'm legit curious if anyone was upset about this in the previous administration and maybe I just forgot, or if there is any sort of "different circumstances" defense? If there was no issue then, there's no issue now. If it was an issue then, why was everyone silent about it? Or this is exhibit A of media control over the opinion of the populace.
