Last year in the mostly peaceful protests, Antifa were using lasers to try and blind police officers. I'm working on an artcle regarding them. What types of lasers? Power? Where did they get the?...

They were using them to entertain moms cats in the basement and were blinding each other. Hence blind the cops instead.
Just laser pointers. You can get them for a few bucks
Weren't some of them using those high power green ones that people were shooting at airliners near airports causing problems for pilots?
The high powered green ones that you can shoot into the sky for miles and miles cost like $10
There is a whole section on the use of blinding lasers in the Law of War manual section 6.15.1. It is listed as one of the "Specifically Prohibited Types of Weapons" in section 6.4.2
I just took a bunch of screen grabs from the manual which can be seen here - https://ibb.co/3cLgZNw
Edit : Many of these lasers can be found on places like ebay, https://biglasers.com/, and other sites. Also it is possible to make your own with a laser Diode from a cdrw disc drive, and a mag-light flashlight. I made one over 10 years ago and it was pretty powerful and went a long distance.
Great!
