For the sake of sanity, all of those incompatible chemicals are accelerants and most are toxic, this is a good way to start with a cheeky idea of how to fight back relatively harmlessly and end with a massive felony conviction for attempted murder of an officer.
if you do basically any fighting, so much as throwing a rock or spraying paint, you’re in ‘fugitive for life’ or ‘make sure nobody ever finds out it was you’ territory. there’s only like two levels of escalation higher than that, and you need to blow up a bunch of shit+be muslim, or nonviolently unite diverse groups to common communal goals, assuming you want to reach those.
Oh yes I’d expect some of what’s on that list would get you on a list if you tried buying it.
Some of the ones that affect polycarbonate look to be paint thinners or the sort of thing found in oil based enamel paint.
Absolute pain in the star to remove enamel paint.
Edit: not even gonna change that auto text 🤣
Nono, none of them would get you on a list for buying them, they’re basically all common industrial and even household solvents or stuff you’d find in the pool chemical aisle, the issue is you’re effectively suggesting dousing riot police with gasoline as well as things that burn if they get on your skin. Damaging the riot shield is the least of the concerns here. If you did this, they would (rightfully) assume you were trying to SET THEM ON FIRE and you might succeed accidentally given how pyrotechnic riot control can get. This is likely to just get you shot.
So apparently riot shields are made of polycarbonate. For educational purposes here is an interesting chemical compatibility list
