A student who went to photograph a Black Lives Matter protest was warned that New York City police might use a sound cannon against demonstrators.So, when the NYPD fired a Long Range Acoustic Device, or a LRAD, at the demonstration in 2014 in Manhattan, that's exactly what Edrei, 24, did.
The migraine lasted about a week, but almost five years later, Edrei, now a student in Edinburgh, Scotland, still feels the LRAD’s effect. But in the federal civil rights lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim officers’ use of the LRAD at the protest was excessive force, violating their constitutional rights. The lawsuit has no legal merit, the NYPD added. “Exposing police officers to civil liability for using tools that successfully substitute for the use of force is bad for both public safety and police community relations,” the statement said.
The tactical use of War Weapons on American soil during protests by US citizens, bringing grievances in the face of our Government ? Untenable, illegal & shows the public clearly how psuedo Military Ops such as Tigerswan, have infiltrated law enforcement.

Pantaleo should be charged with murder, not just disiplined. C'est normal Video shows Garner failed to comply with police, resisted arrest and autopsy showed his obesity and heart condition contributed to his death As for “I can’t breathe”, I’m sure cops hear that all the time (along with “these cuffs are too tight”)
