A laser to the eyes would seem to justify a bullet to the brain.

No. Lasers should be considered a lethal weapon. If they blind you, they can then kill you. Shoot them if necessary. Self defense

In spy movies, lasers can cut through anything.

He did. But here are several successors, just not on piloted planes.

And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

In my opinion, blasting away someone’s eyesight permanently with a laser qualifies as, “Grievous bodily injury,” and earns the laser operator quite a few bullets in the face.

Same with the bastards throwing rocks and projectiles at officers in Chicago. The response should be gunfire until the the objects stop being thrown.

Anyone with a laser like that should be themselves blinded and turned out on the street.

That’s stupid

There are actual laser glasses they should buy. The sunglasses may put the personnel at higher risk of eye damage depending on what kind they purchased. Someone just don’t know jack

Time to bring out the LRAD sonic weapon that causes dizziness and vomiting and the Active Denial Systems that heats the water in human skin causing incapacitating pain. We have the technology.

Now that I’ve read the article they aren’t sunglasses. They are indeed laser eye wear
