When you are permanently taking away something like a sensory ability, that is especially criminal. There is absolutely no reason that these devices should ever be used... anywhere. Other non-permanently damaging methods of riot and crowd control are just as effective. Utilizing LRAD is the result of someone's (really, multiple persons') hard-on(s) for harming other people. It's about fucking time that we started having a national dialog about the out-of-control militarization of the U.S. police force. That it took such a series of unfortunate events to get peoples' wheels turning is pathetic.It doesn't incapacitate anyone farther than maybe nausea and permanent hearing damage.
