Feds Develop Ray Guns for "crowd control"
RAY GUNS, SONIC BLASTS AND MORE; YOUR GOVERNMENT AND CROWD CONTROL
Tune in to this Membership Drive edition of A Deeper Look. Brooklyn writer Ando Arike joins host Linda Olson-Osterlund to talk about his recent article in Harpers Magazine, The Soft-kill Solution: New Frontiers in Pain Compliance. Learn about not only the development of new crowd or "riot " control weapons, but their deployment against protesters in the United States and internationally. What are these "non-lethal" weapons. Where do the rights of citizens to protest fit in this new era of control?
