Gonna be a mess - got an excuse to agitate

I still think this is a great idea, Skunk Water Cannons.

Thanks to capitalism there are several companies working on less lethal options for SWAT and crowd control operations to lower the risk to everyone involved. Money is a factor and many jurisdictions don't want to buy anything for the police, even less lethal stuff. And in some cases not allowed to be used by court order in places like Denver and Seattle.

As a side note, my understanding is that Boulder had a vehicle with these capabilities but was destroyed during the shooting. I guess they attempted to ram the building with the vehicle to make entry and the short concrete wall gave the vehicle an incredible amount of damage.

Interesting because of truck / car attacks.

In order to erect barriers to keep people from using trucks/car as weapons to run people down (or prevent smash and grab theft) prevents the SWAT vehicles from smashing in. Who woulda thunk it?
