FEAT Ping.
The Brits learned the lasting lessons of non-lethal crowd control in N. Ireland over the past decades. Chemical mace and plastic bullets, not a heat ray, but the lessons will be the same.
Angry crowds “dispersed” by non-lethals don’t go home and drink green tea and practice yoga. They take up sniping and bombing, since the non-violent outlets for their anger and frustration were taken away.
Imagine a massive tea party type rally driven off screaming in pain by heat rays.
Think they will all turn into Ghandi? Think again.
