"Would this toy have stopped an enraged charging RHINO convict like Freddie Gray? No way, Jose!"

Nor will a 9mm, apparently.

Having said that, let the games begin...

...could reduce the number of civilians killed by police officers in potentially lethal situations.

Police already have a less lethal device... it's called a Taser.

By the way, good luck taking down a "gentle giant" with a bullet in a pillow. You know, the guys that are trying to take your gun to kill you! Sorry, I want maximum lethality.

I have another non-lethal solution, that requires no alterations to the sidearm, ammo, or incur cost to the community: Don’t give Police Officers reason to shoot you.

Excuse me, when I said Freddie Gray, I meant Michael Brown. So many of these trouble-makers lately that it is hard to keep them all straight. Bad, bad, Michael Brown....baddest man in the whole damn town!

“Who was Freddy Gray charging?”

I’m thinking 2harddrive was referring to St. Mikey B.

Was it reference to that big dude who roughed up a shopkeeper? I’ve lost track of all these Darwin award (Thug Life Edition) winners.

IIRC, border guard Brian Terry was using a shotgun loaded with beanbags when his opponents weren’t (they used “Fast and Furious” scandal firearms). Same stupid idea: if you’re trying for “less lethal” when opponents are using all-out lethal weapons, you die.

Meanwhile DHS federal brownshirt armies will be authorized to carry armor piercing bullets in the future after they force the local police agencies and citizens to use them. Yeah I see where this is going real fast.

Um, what? Dumber than dog crap is all that I can say. It would result in more officers lives being lost.

especially if he's a thug on PCP the size of Michael Brown. You fire something like that and he's just going to flip around and say, "can you rub the other side now"?
