not getting it in Quebec

[Blank Frank]

                
        By mid-afternoon, protesters tore down a section of
          the concrete and chain-link security barricade and
          pelted police officers in riot gear with cans, bottles,
          rocks and stuffed animals. Officers responded by
          lobbing canisters of tear gas.

Stuffed animals? 

Did they expect that the cops would use cheese-whiz instead of mace?
