Body armor. Rubber bullets. Pepper spray. This guide breaks down some of the less-lethal items a police officer may reach for when responding to a demonstration.

A CED is a battery-operated, handheld device that sends pulses of electric current through a person’s body via two small darts, almost like jumping a car. The dominant brand of CED is Taser.

The result is neuromuscular incapacitation - where the muscles contract uncontrollably, preventing the person from moving purposefully. This effect is also called"muscle tetanization." “…our research showed that it [CEDs] was used too often and I think that’s a training and a supervision and an accountability issue.”How are police trained to use it?

The more distance between where the two darts land on the body, the more nerve fibers are affected. 12 inches is optimal. Less than 4 inches typically creates a pain effect only. “It’s a totally unregulated field, and there is no oversight,” says Mesloh, the professor at Northern Michigan University. “All of the [product] information will be driven by the manufacturer, and the big ones may offer instructor training courses on things like less lethal munitions and diversionary devices. So what may happen is you go to a four or five-day school, you come back and you teach your entire department.

Not shooting unarmed peeps is also a super edgy but interesting idea ❤️

Riots

The worse CNN fake news, no one believe you anymore, people shake their head if they hear, where you get the news CNN. No listen to CNN, your credibility is over.

Blue lifes mater

Demon-strations... from Antifa. They love referencing the terrorist organization’s past, but they never share this. (Look at the flags that hang high next to theirs). They are communists, through and through.

Responding to rioters. Fixed it for you again.

Body armor and pepper spray are standard to a police officer's equipment...everyday...every shift...protest or no protest...no need to sensationalize that.

Are you all nuts? I say cops use what the rioters use!!! Rocks, fire, frozen water bottles, fire works... And guns!

This isn't how demonstrations are dealt with, it's how RIOTS are dealt with. All the shit you mentioned is called 'riot gear', and its for fucking riots, like attempts at burning or bombing courthouses. At least the media properly labeled the LA Riots 'riots' back in the day.

How about you focus on the weapons the law breakers use for a change?

Our dear friends in the West and the East: 💚Your statesmen have replaced the false 4 centuries with the truth, and now is the time to turn to our saviors, so that Christ and the Mahdi(son_of_man) will join hands to bring us happiness.💚 ThePromisedSaviour

🌹Hollywood is lying to people about Imam_Mahdi (the Twelfth_Imam). Soon ImamMahdi and JesusChrist will come together for peace, justice, equality, love and purity. And we must pray for them. ThePromisedSaviour son_of_man ThePromisedSaviour

Riots*

How about pepper bullets and rubber spray?

Demonstration? You mean a riot...

This will Can Kill somebody

Police wouldn’t need to “gear up” if they were just “protests”

These riots need to stop. Use force and get them out of there!
