Same thing happened to Celtic fans in Amsterdam when they thought they were being attacked by ulras. Turned out they were plain clothes police who they beat the shiit out of.

Pretty snidey tactic that. Feel sorry for them chaps, they'll probably spend the night in clink.

If its on camera then UEFA will have something to say about it.

Unnecessary use of tear gas on football fans will not go down well with UEFA.
No chance English fans are seen as fair game happened in spain and other places nothing ever comes of it

If there was no genuine reason for the police to be using tear gas. And based on what is being reported and pictures posted online - there isn't.

Then answers will be sought later. guaranteed.

Violence in Lille main square as “drunk” Everton fans supposedly cause police to intervene
Images have emerged showing outbreaks of violence as Lille riot police dispersed crowds of drunk Everton fans who were gathering in Lille’s main square. Sources in Lille have confirmed to Get French Football News that drunk Everton fans were destroying parts of the square, including tables and chairs, before the French police decided to intervene, using tear gas to do so.

A clear picture of the events has now emerged. The authorities have confirmed that a British police officer spotted two Everton fans one a known hooligan, the other a known drug trafficker in the crowd in the town square. Plain-clothed policemen then tried to detain the two aforementioned individuals but fellow Everton fans, not knowing that these men were from the authorities retaliated to support the two men in question.

Scuffles ensued and the CRS (riot police) intervened using tear gas, but no rubber bullets despite some claims on the contrary. A bang was audible in the square as the police let off the first of three tear gas bombs. The police then moved towards a particular group of Everton fans, knocking at least one them to the ground.
According to several English sources, the majority of the Everton fans had not provoked the police.

In a video uploaded to the Liverpool Echo website, a father tells the story of how his 7 year old son was sprayed with pepper spray and then vomited. When the father tried to get in to the local McDonalds so that his son could get into a place of safety, the police only allowed the child in and not him.

Trouble is believed to have first started when the plain-clothed police arrested a fan and then Everton fans, unaware of who the people were, retaliated to help their compatriot out, which the French police saw as dangerous enough to release tear gas on this specific group. About 7000 Everton fans were reported to have been in Lille by 14:00 CET.

No rubber bullets have been used by the French police according to eyewitnesses but authorities have confirmed that two defence, rubber bullet guns were out. Whether that means they were used or not is a different matter. An Everton fan has been arrested for throwing objects at the police, but local authorities claim that nobody was injured following the attack.
 
You have to laugh at the police all tooled up hiding behind each other like Hitler's coming. Glad I never went because I couldn't not react to something like this.
