Most Americans want law and order.
When a peaceful protest turns into a riot – storefronts smashed, fires lit, and police under attack – something has to be done. Fast.
And while law enforcement has a toolbox of non-lethal methods, one old-school tool that’s mostly been shelved in the U.S. deserves a second look: water cannons.
Now, I get it. Some folks hear “water cannon” and think of black-and-white photos from the 1960s, with peaceful civil rights protesters being blasted in Birmingham. That image stuck with America, and for good reason.
But today’s reality is very different. We’re talking about violent mobs, not peaceful marches. And it’s time we make a clear distinction.
Riots Aren’t “Mostly Peaceful”
Remember the summer of 2020?
According to Insurance Journal, riots following George Floyd’s death caused over $2 billion in damage, making it the most expensive civil unrest in U.S. history.
Cities like Minneapolis, Portland, and Kenosha were torn apart. Police officers were attacked. Business owners lost everything.
When a crowd crosses the line from protest to violence, law enforcement needs fast, effective ways to regain control.
Right now, they mostly rely on tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and batons. But none of those are perfect.
Tear gas can linger and affect innocent bystanders.

$hit I have been saying this for years.
Existing hardware would work with minor mods.
Don't forget the police dogs chomping at the bit. "Get him boy! Kill! Kill!"
Douche them out of there.

IN Japan, they use indelible blue dye in their water cannons. Then they can round up the offenders later.
Makes sense...
Excellent when the mob has a lot of those LSMFTBQRST types.
Helps wash away all those blood borne diseases.
Water cannon can’t fire grape shot.
Nothing quells a riot faster than a whiff of grape, as Napoleon taught us.
There is also the targeted sonic weapons. Unleash those suckers and make these fools puke all over themselves.

Would that be similar to the white dust that rained down on Greta's anti-Jewish yacht.

So good I had to post it twice. Especially in LA, use the sewer water, pumped from San Diego, which came from Mexico...

I’ve been watching for the biker boys to get a piece of the action but so far they’ve not appeared.
Also good.
