> [...] when exactly should the police gear up to disperse a crowd? While it's actively rioting?

I already pay taxes, do I have to give the government solutions to all problems in society in a silver platter too? Why don't they use some of that money to research an answer to that very question? Because guns.

I mean, there could be a foam that slows people down when sprayed. Or a net that makes it confusing to walk. Who knows. So many possibilities. But guns!




Or a magic gas that makes it hard for people to see and breathe and want to run away.


Wouldn't be so bad if it weren't almost always paired with entering said clout of gas with gas masks and beating and arresting protestors.
