Belgian police fire TEAR GAS at own soldiers as they protested against politicians RIOT police in Belgium fired tear gas and water cannons at members of their own military amid fierce, violent protests against the government's decision to raise the forces' retirement age. More than 8,000 servicemen and women marched through Brussels in a show of defiance against their politicians' decision to keep them in work until the age of 63 – the current retirement age is 56. Dramatic video footage shows volatile protesters clashing with riot police armed with water cannons, tear gas, protective shields, batons and helmets. Protesters reportedly launched lemons and other projectiles at police officers before they were dispersed.
