Some Dallas police officers will soon be toting “sponge guns,” weapons aimed at reducing the chances of a deadly officer-involved shooting.
Police booster group Safer Dallas Better Dallas announced Thursday that it plans to raise $250,000 to help pay for more than 100 launchers that shoot sponge pellets. The “less lethal” weapons are meant to disarm and incapacitate someone from up to 100 feet away, police officials said.

ROFL!!!!!!
Rubber bands could leave a welt. Oh noes!
Soak Nerf-Bullets in Weaponized Mustard agent, Weaponized Benzine agent, or Weaponized Vomiting agent.
Sad commentary on what this country is becoming for sure.
I left it over two decades ago when I saw the writing on the wall. And it wasn't over fake accusations from hoodlums and other professional victim groups, but from WITHIN the department. That's what affirmative action has done to this country.
I could see intimate small towns being decent places to work in law enforcement, but those are becoming increasingly rare.
Yeah, but when the perp survives being shot by a racist cop, he’ll want all the moola from the lawsuit.

Beat me to it.
If you don't comply with lawful orders from Police and are a threat to them or someone else your ass needs a Center Mass Double Tap with something that starts with .4 and can't be scrubbed off with Ajax.
Why not just shoot “Free beer with Obama” coupons at them?
Is this it? 40mm grenade launcher

I graduated from the DPD academy in May 1986 and would just be finishing 30 years now if I had stayed. I would definitely be taking that retirement now.
As it was, I stayed another 8 years. Only thing I miss is El Taquito restaurant and Whataburgers.
A sponge gun is one way to “wipe” out crime.
And a Comfy Chair for interrogations?
I live in a different city, where bad guys get shot, and it really is smart to be respectful to the cops when you get pulled over.
Are the criminals being armed with sponge guns as well, or do they get to fire real bullets?
