Make a weapon that shoots panties at the rioters.

Hey, we just want to break up a crowd -- not send them backwards in time!

So much for the freedom of demonstrations. I wonder when it will be used in US and what will be the reaction if some people will lose eye sight and others will get burned by the metal implants.

Certainly no worse that spraying bullets, tossing a grenade, or setting of a Bouncing Betty.

I would hate to think that the bad guys would get one of these.

Like tasers, assault weapons, nightsticks, flashlights, handcuffs, these will only be used by law enforce officers who have the proper training. The public cannot be allowed possession of such dangerous paraphernalia.

There's another one, tested by my organization, that reduces the coefficient of friction to well below that of wet ice.

Is this secret stuff, or can it be described?

It's not secret, or I wouldn't know about it, because I don't work for that part of the organization.

The story appeared in our in house tech publication, a few years ago, IIRC. Search on Mobility Denial System and Marine Corps.
