And where do police get the authority to purchase much less use these weapons? Our police forces are out of control in this country, and politicians are so afraid of them they will do whatever the cops request. Just look at how many cops act as lobbyists to make things easier for themselves. Acoustic cannon sales to law enforcement agencies is only escalating the violence because police are being trained to believe these weapons dont actually hurt people. So much of law enforcement goes against common sense that officers are routinely instructed to ignore what makes sense and follow orders.

hey im all for excercising your rights but BLM is PROTESTING, violently on occasion.. I think.. i have no source. Though if there was a violent protest worth using an acoustic cannon on, it would blm. All they accomplish is further seperating people when we as americans need to stand together. But the cops shouldnt have these military grade weapons. Acoustic cannons can cause MUCH more than mere discomfort worth leaving a riot over.

Bingo. Audio weapons will only piss off protesters and worsen the issue (imo). It's just pushing the people of an impoverished area into a race war that would never happen otherwise, and the media will be there every step of the way to make sure that black people feel marginalized.

All the while, whites and blacks really just want to be left alone by the para-military thugs that walk our "free" streets. What a mess.

Well shit if the cannons dont cause severe pain and busted ear drums, it will DEFINITELY cause panic.. People wont line up single file to exit the area.. It would be yelling screaming fighting shooting just fucking chaos. In a perfect world, shit wouldnt be so fucked up that people feel the need to riot at this level. But i think blm protestors are usually pretty uninformed anyway so i cant take their cause seriously when its as redundant as it is
