Post subject: Vic Police get new weapons | |
|
New weapons to deal with rioters and out of control protesters.
Quote: | The new tools Mr Ashton said are to be used include:
Fifteen semi-automatic 175-shot pepper-ball rifles that fire capsicum rounds, blunt force pellets the size of marbles or dye markers to brand offenders so they can be identified and arrested later.
Forty-millimetre launchers that fire hard, squash-ball-like projectiles designed to hit offenders from 50 metres and impact with the force of a "very hard punch".
Stinger grenades that can be rolled into a crowd, explode with light and smoke while releasing nine 32-calibre rubber pellets to waist height with a range of five metres.
Flash/noise distraction devices designed to shock and disperse violent crowds.
Capsicum canisters — a crowd-control weapon of last resort that detonates to release a cloud of capsicum in events such as a prison riot.
New lightweight body armour and helmets to protect police. |

They should get some upgraded water cannons that shoot soapy water and combine them with cannons that shoot sponges to use on the ANTIFA protesters, or guns that fire Bacon. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Does this mean that the police have come to the conclusion that not taking action against teens running riot leads to teens continuing to run riot? |

And ANTIFA numbats blocking highways and vandalising things can't be reasoned with. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I’ll probably regret asking this, but can you actually explain what you think culture has to do with propensity to riot? Or is this just your code word to pull out whenever non-whites are committing crimes? _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Hmmm, well, the news did say the Collingwood thing was blank vs blank, the one in Caroline springs was predominantly Sudanese, the one with the swords last Christmas was that Asian gang.

Vic Pol are issued with some nice automatic weapons. 15 Shot Smith and Wesson M & P (military and police) - 40 caliber semi-automatic pistol. They would work better in dispersing crowds and put that bit of extra fear in the idiots. A few Sudanese deaths could bring on our own "black lives matter" movement. We don't kneel for the Anthem though. |

Up until 30 years ago, the only weapon carried by our Police was a baton.
I think the results of mass immigration over the last 2 decades, quite clearly speaks for itself. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

It really doesn't. It could point to social breakdown for other reasons (Mugwump would blame the '60s; others might blame neoliberalism and the decline of community); or, it could point to an increase in authoritarianism and the militarisation of our police forces. But as they say, everything looks like a nail to a hammer. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |
