wow, so you ARE a moron
Cute. This, from the person who has provided no support at all other than a few offhand remarks little different from "I saw the hippies get maced. I SAW IT (on youtube!)!"
police regularly swab protesters in lines and other non mobile situations <folk who chain themselves to trees> with pepper spray that is FAR from mace, again, candycanes and gumdrops, elderly protesters, what about all those aging hippies? I see a fair number of quite old protesters, also, paents of people in iraq, a lot of them are quite old, spouses of reactivated soldiers, since they upped the age for reactivation, dang, they've gotten into a pretty old age bracket too
I didn't say protesters, you incompetent, I said rioters. Riot=More Violent than peaceful protest (the only LAWFUL kind there is). Learn the difference. Most police forces are fully authorized to use direct action to disperse a riot, including Mace/Pepper Spray, Tasers, whatever.
and did you ever consider that heart disease, epilepsy and many other disorders that electroshock can set off, though often age linked <though epilepsy kicking in at puberty, hardly the age I suspect you were thinking> rarely show outward signs, and I wonder what the statistics are for people who are not elderly, but have electro magnetic devices that assist with the regulation of body function, I do not simplify to pace makers because in DBS a similar device is used to treat schizophrenia, depression, epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and a range of other diseases
And what does this have to do with a focused heat-based device that doesn't involve passing massive amounts of electricity through your brain? Oh, thats right, nothing.
gee, seems you are just spewing your ignorance as hard as you can eh?
"Kettle, this is Pot. You're black."
this has nothing to do with "shadow governments" wow, paranoid aren't we? it has to do with the fact that often, when kit gets small and economical it gets down to street level, and if you didn't have your head where the sun doesn't shine you would see that miniturization is clearly a goal, it is a goal with any weapon system, lethal or non, as is making it more economical, the fact that this decive leaves no mark makes it extremly attractive to someone who wants to abuse their power in a position of authority, many police officers are police officers because they want that authority to be able to use it on other people, I am not saying most, I am not saying all, I am saying many, I am saying enough to make this a problem, I am saying that when I watch the interviews with police officers after the chicago dnc in the 60's whenever someone mentions hitting a kneecap or something and doing severe damage, which the messed up folk do there is a very disturbing manner about the way in which they do it
Bullcrap. There were numerous remarks to the effect that the "Evil Government will torture you mercilessly with this!"
As for the rest: And you call me paranoid? El. Oh. El.
some learned cynicism and wisdom added to your bag of tricks would do you well, I disagree with you because I have seen what happens when people with lesser capabilities are given a better way to do their evil, as it is only a corrupt officer with some of his wits about him can get away with something, those who aren't smart enough to cover up the marks from the taser or the club don't get to think about abusing their power, with this mechanism, which will eventually get into more hands, more people will be able to abuse it, and sans the forensic trail to shut down those who would abuse this power this is indeed a dangerous path
...Of course. How could I be so blind? Obviously this is a foolproof device, highly advanced, capable of penetrating any form of defense or surface, autotracking, unimaginably cruel, easy to obtain, far along in development and miniaturization. How could I not see that within a few years every sick bastard that makes up U.S. security and Law enforcement will have their own shiny paingun that they will be able to abuse against anybody and everybody. I mean, it's not like such a device will be regulated, or expensive, or (LOL at the thought) worse at inspiring fear and obediance than the GUNS POLICE OFFICERS ALREADY CARRY!
Wow, thank you for educating me with your oh-so-infallible view on this subject. Screw the pain lasers, lets just skip right to the killing ones, eh? Then they'll be indistinguishable from other weapons, and you can stop the whining.
There, does that cynicism make you feel better?
I fear it in military hands, but I fear it in law enforcement hands far more
Moreso than guns and grenades and bombs and Jets and tanks and Battleships? Wow, we certainly have our priorities in order. God forbid the Military have a non-lethal device that does the job of numerous more "immoral" devices.
