They said face shields first, masks second. I’d guess they just wanted to avoid repetition and chose a not so accurate word. Somewhere between medical and riot face shields are $10 harbor freight grinder/spark shields. They’re not going to stop a rubber bullet, but you might just keep your eye. If any small explosives get involved, it’d shield your face from debris. But it could be more Ike a mask to shield your face from cameras
The thin shields could also help against pepper spray. People going to protests where police violence is expected really should be wearing face (or at least eye) protection.
