Something @MaranieRae focused on with her footage was the use of a thermal fogger.
These basically are normally sold as a pesticide shooter, but the police were using it to direct tear gas etc at the protesters.
They often had it on.
At 33 seconds you can hear it turn *off*

As police unloaded a huge amount of tear gas (as well as other munitions) on the crowd, who sometimes tried to kick the canisters away, you can hear the police using the thermal fogger to keep pushing the gas back at the protesters.
Police had a head-to-head confrontation with a couple protesters, rapidly firing sting balls. A cop used a strobe light which seemed to induce a seizure.
Police pushed them back as street medics tried to help.
One officer said "we have a medic" to justify pushing theirs away.

Protesters tried to push forward on the police line as the situation unfolded (on right in this frame).
Police charged them at 25 seconds in, predominantly spraying sting balls at the crowd.

When antifa later in the night finished burning an American flag, they placed a Biden flag onto the fire as well.
