A pair of safety goggles that seal well against your eyes will help you a ton against tear gas. You’re still going to have breathing issues but you’ll avoid the eye pain.
I used this trick when I needed to cut lots of onions.
Gas masks just aren’t practical for large crowds due to the expense/training required. You’re looking at $150 new, filters being about $40+ new. Sure you can get surplus for cheaper if you can find it, but most people can’t, not enough to go around.
Also filters should be replaced after being esposed to chemicals they’re designed to protect against. You probably could get away with using tear filters exposed to year gas.
