the Pentagon's controversial Active Denial System (ADS) - first demonstrated in public last year
Actually, the Active Denial System (ADS) was invented by the RNC decades ago as a way to help get RINOs elected.

No problemo as long as the devices are available to civilians also.
Othewise we have tyranny.

I have a few “pain beam” weapons already in the inventory ... the latest being one of The Judge pistols loaded with .410 shotgun shells.

Hmmm. Next time I'm out
burning cars and looting stores,
if somebody points
a BFG thing
in my direction, I'll run!
Thanks for the update!

These genius' who come up with these 'non lethal' weapons always seem to overlook on teeny tint thing -- These weapons are ONLY "non lethal" if the person it is used on is in almost Perfect Health.
- Tasers cause Heart Attacks. That ain't 'non lethal' in my book. I don't know if anyone witha Pacemaker has been zapped yet but when it hapens that person will prolly DIE.
- This 'pain weapon' can also cause a Heart Attack or nicer still (sarc) a Stroke, if used on someone with Hypertension caused by a chronic pain condition. Pain raises your BP to begin with (trust me I know), so if it was used on me and my BP went up some more, I could be KILLED.
So boys, put away all your neat Flash Gordon toys and if need be, whack me over the head with your Baton -
please.

It seems the anti-globalization protesters at the WTO or World Bank meetings (how do these morons afford to go to so many foreign capitals considering what deadbeats most of them are?) would prefer these weapons to a nightstick or a swift kick.
Personally, if I were a cop I’d prefer the pleasure of an up-close and personal relationship using a lead-filled rubber truncheon as some Hong Kong cops used to do. The bamboo batons they now use leave a mark but much less internal damage.
The morons who break into businesses and loot or set someone else’s car on fire deserve no less. This system is way too PC.
