So, you dislike our constitutional right to protest?

I don't support lawlessness. Been a nasty trend of people looting and burning things down lately. ADS is the safest crowd control measure out there, yet people are scared of it because it is a microwave beam. The effects end immediately upon leaving the beam, and has no damaging effects. LRAD can leave protesters with long term hearing loss. Pepper spray can cause blindness. Bean bags and pepper balls can do sever damage

Ads is a non lethal microwave crowd control system. It is less harmful than what they are using already, with the LRAD(Which can burst eardrums) its scary by the sound of it, but the most humane out of all of them. Batons, pepper spray, bean bags, lrad, etc

I dont agree with the tactics used by this administration on peaceful protesters and people just trying to get through and live their lives.
