Pentagon’s Active Denial System: Goodbye to People Power?

Pentagon has a new weapon…a ray gun (like in the sci-fi movies!) that can stop a person in his tracks (but) without injuring or killing him.

CBS News correspondent David Martin experienced it first hand, and gives this account. The weapon is likely to be used as a crowd buster. Watch the fascinating video from CBS.

What this could mean? If our government obtains this kind of crowd dispersal arsenal it could easily disband rallies at greatly reduced risk of violence.

BUT as caveat- it doesn’t deal with why people rally in the first place, which posits of the possibly that a new form of “demonstration” could likely be hatched. I hope that this would not be of the violent strain.
