new?
not even close.
i did a story years ago about the massacre of beit hanoun where the ADS (active denial system) had been used but not as intended.
pictures of childrens brains oozing out and eyeballs melted.so many pictures where evidence of the fluids in the body exploding due to boiling pressures.

now i cant seem to find the original story about the incident and all i am able find are isreals admission to the shellings but not one mention of the use of ADS nor one single picture.

maybe it was just my over active imagination right?

So... is he saying police shouldn't keep up with modern technology? I for one am glad that police are equipped with body armor - that way if a criminal shoots at them there is less chance of the police officer dying and a greater chance of the officer stopping the criminal from killing other people.

The same goes for better equipment to use against criminals. For one thing, most of the items he is showing are being used for SWAT or other counter-terrorism/hostage rescue teams. You don't see any officers dressed like that walking the streets as a beat cop. Complete strawman.

Also, he criticizes police forces for getting things like LRAD and Active Denial Systems. Considering these are "Less that Lethal" devices that are meant to be used instead of weapons that kill people I'm very glad police forces are investing in these. I'm not quite sure if this guy just didn't do his research or if he is just trying to scare people. His use of WACO makes me think the latter.

Then he asks, while showing a 'random checkpoint' and 'national I.D. cards' if "this is the type of country you want your kids to grow up in?" Well, I don't know about the US, but up here in Canada we already have "random checkpoints" pretty much every weekend to make sure people aren't driving drunk. We also have checkpoints at borders and sometimes if there is an Amber Alert, or for myriad other reasons. These seem perfectly reasonable. We also have drivers licences, passports and other government ID cards. OH NOES POLICE STATE!!1

Police need to adapt to deal with ever adapting criminals. Barney Fife would die in a gutter while a well-equipped, properly trained officer gets the job done.

oh this post just fucking pissed me off.
i have long refused to suckle at the giant teat of iranian propaganda,and what is happening to the common people who are protesting is egregious in its violence.maybe americans and british should pay attention,this might be foreshadowing.
on it own, this post would be noble,even praiseworthy,but to call americans cowards?
bold words coming from a panty waist sitting in his boxers typing on a keyboard.
sad thing is,i actually agree that consumerism=slavery.that most americans have no clue.
but thats not COWARDICE,thats IGNORANCE,get your nouns right dipshit.
so..
you wanna play "horror-troll" do ye?
ok..ill take your shooting and raise ya:
one "active-denial system" massacre of beit hanoun.
http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2006/11/13/us-officers-planned-the-beit-hanoun-massacre/
they used microwaves to do this..MICROWAVES..isreal+america,yet ask an american if he knows about this.ill tell ya..they dont.
do you think it is ONLY in iran,or palestine,chechnya,bosnia,somolia etc etc where horrendous violent acts against humans happens?
do you think america is soley responsible?
while america for the past 50 years has been the greatest aggregator of violence and bloodshed for global hegemony.you think they did it ALONE?
FUCK...your stupidity is making my brain hurt..how can you arbitrarily blame a countries people?
the network of elites who use their money,power and influence to perpetuate their own status quo at the cost of the majority is nothing new to human history.
for FUCKS sake boy! it was the AMERICAN PEOPLE who stopped the vietnam war!!
but it was only when the truth of the war,fair and honest reporting,and the revelation of the gulf of tonkin came out.
so instead of sitting at your chair and feeling clever,maybe you should take the time to consider that you admonish a people who just DONT KNOW.
what i DO know is that you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
fuck this and fuck you..
cowards..phhht..
asshat ..l..

What a coincidence. My shrink says I have an Active Denial System, but he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

*promote c'mon ppl upvote for discussion of the NAU, SPP and Superhighway in the House of Representatives.

Active denial systems - OFF!!!

Do any of you know anything about what your saying?^ (except MGR)

This is ADS, Active Denial System. Its non-lethal, does not cause permanent or lasting damage, and the effects wear off as soon as you move out of the beam. Its not so much radiation, as most people think of radiation. Your space heater radiates. (it all depends on how you use the word) This particular ADS uses electromagnetic wave at a frequency of 95 GHtz to excite the nerve endings in your skin, about 1/64 of an inch deep. This shit is bad ass, and its to bad they haven't developed it sooner.

@direpickle - So you would would rather people shoot civilians, than use something like this? Douche.

@Abducted - This is always been a fear of the people. How do you fight an oppressive government with such a huge Military? The English did it. Its about standing up for whats right. I took an oath to defend the constitution, and I ca tell you if i ever got some "suppress the free people" bullshit kind of orders, there ain't no fucking way. Thats the day I'll be tried for shooting A superior officer.

@Maximillion - Double Douche for the "prefer bullets" comment.

@HollywoodBob. Triple douche. Yes some older systems like PATRIOT are still large, but it is old technology and it has been around for a while. Did you ever think that the size serves a purpose? BAM. Know something before you make yourself look like an Idiot.

@Cumhuffman - I laughed, only because the RADAR in PATRIOT (the field I work in) will cook a bag of popcorn as you throw it across the antenna. This device will not cook you, or kill you, but your comment was funny nonetheless.

@Sheppard. Lasers? who said anything about lasers?

@rottenseed - your avatar right back at you. (insert avatar here) you buddy!

US tax dollars at work, ten years and the thing is still the size of an 80's satellite dish, and has to be mounted on a humvee for mobility. Why when every piece of commercial technology continues to get smaller, does the military tech stay huge. What the hell, stop watching the seventies sci-fi and gloating that your tech is way smaller than that. Active denial systems should be hand held by now. What, do we need to get NOKIA to make them?

Well, dag, satire aside, have you heard of the Active denial System? It's a device mounted to a HMMWV(Humvee)that emits a "pain ray" of microwaves. It causes the skin to get really hot, really fast. But when the target moves out of the area of effect, the skin is immediately cool again.
