I saw the US military on a mainstream large TV channel show these and how they were used to disperse crowds without needing bullets.

    Do you have something to substantiate this suggestion? As far as I can tell from credible reports, it’s only LRAD (“sonic guns”) which have been used, in ACT and NSW jurisdictions, in recent years.

    In Canberra over the weekend it appears to have been a fairly non-militarised looking LRAD unit used for PA purposes only.

    There do seem to be significant safety issues which need addressing with the tech, and concerns to discuss about the style of policing it enables.

    Jumping into rabbit holes of energy weapons, if unsubstantiated, seems unhelpful.

      question everything. and try hard not to discourage others from doing so. shaming people for asking questions is largely why humanity is in the mess they are in. Everyone is afraid to stick out like a sore thumb. I have been wrong before and will be wrong again. I will always ask questions and look deeper.
