Guess campus protests require AR-15s now. If the cops don't like it they're free to cut the shit.

Also shotguns with birdshot shells, they're decent against the drones (which they're using).
LRAD is some fucked up shit, btw. (Part of the large family of sonic weapons)
An LRAD can thus emit a targeted "beam" of sound at very high volume, up to 160 dB at one meter from the device. This is louder than standing behind a jet engine taking off, or a nearby gunshot.[2]
By the way for those that think they're gonna use actual grenades on children, they're just foam "fordy mike mikes" (40mm) that are designed to fit in a grenade launcher. Pepper balls are similar to pepper spray (but iirc it's a bit stronger)
doesn't make it better lol
If you've ever been hit by either (I've been hit by a few pepper balls) - it fucking sucks. It is painful, it can, absolutely, be lethal if it hits a neck/face/chest.
The french gendarmerie recently received a new vehicle, it's a tank equipped with a machine gun and 40mm grenade launcher. They're deployed in our colony, Caledonia, to enforce an apartheid. They were also used against ecology protesters recently. Last year, a racist cop murdering a kip sparked revolts, anti-terorism units were deployed and shot kids with 12 gauge shotguns. It's not just america, the rich and powerful are at war with the people everywhere.
C'est absolument dégueulasse....
Nouvelle-Calédonie?
Yeah iirc Caledonia is somewhere in the British Isles.
It’s not just america, the rich and powerful are at war with the people everywhere.
The timing is so weird to me. Like they've been amassing riches and power for decades...why did they decide to escalate the conflict now? Do they really believe that a revolution is coming or something? They are continually winning a bloodless propaganda battle to keep accumulating wealth and let everyone else starve, yet they keep escalating things. It's bizarre to behold.
The inequality is worse than it has been in over a century, people are living closer to the edge than ever, employers are taking the piss at this point, and climate change is beginning to sting. All this is to say that it's not just the workers feeling the pinch - it's the petite bourgeoisie too. That scares capital enough to arm themselves more, but not enough to start making concessions.
excuse me wtf
This is all riot control gear. US universities usually have their own police departments, so by extension they usually have their own riot control gear as well.
You wouldn't use any of this stuff in war. It isn't designed to kill people (although it can and will, especially if used improperly).
(although it can and will, especially if used improperly).
I guess that why, with the exception of the first 2 entries, every other instance is for training.
All paid by every increasing tuition
All protests should be armed protests.
