Police Stocking Up On 'Non-Lethal' Rifles Before DNC

The Denver Police Department has bought high-powered pepper ball rifles just in time for the Democratic National Convention in August, according to a weapons firm that will provide the guns.

Security With Advanced Technology, a company based in Louisville, Colo., and self-billed as investing in the manufacturing of "non-lethal solutions," announced this week that it had sold Denver police 88 Mark IV rifle models, guns that can fire up to 15 pepper balls filled with a super irritant powder at an approximate target range of 100 meters.

Along with shooting pepper irritant, the MK-IV can also shoot "glass breaking" projectiles and high-impact rounds made of rubber, according to the company. The ammo will come in .60-caliber plastic balls, about the size of the average paint ball.

This is the shape of torture for use on Americans.

A policeman wouldn't think of shooting an unarmed man, or a subdued prisoner, but again and again there are reports of tazing or mace just to show who's boss. The police seem to think that the "non-lethal" label makes it Ok to use it on a whim. They don't seem to understand that such weapons are intended to hurt like hell. In other words, they are implements of torture, Ok to use on Americans.

All the cops holding them will be Republicans and McCain supporters.

Used to keep Rob Lowe under control. GOP will have public mensroom stalls under guard.

The Democrat Convention is always a freak show, especially outside the arena, but this year should be really fun to watch.

Careful what you wish for Denver.

The police armor is vulnerable to long spikes. Horses can be prevented from trampling with caltrops.
