WARNING - You probably don't want to turn the sound on for this video.
They can cause permanent hearing damage, and are banned across most of Europe and for War. But of course they use them on innocent people.

You'd think being a cop in France, you'd rather not try to create more work days where you have to put on the armour and get all sweaty doing the yeoman-work of fascism. Guess everywhere's got morons.

    Idk about France, but here usually cops that volunteer to do protest control enjoy it. Hence the bashing in of heads, mutilations, etc.

    I've heard lots of (unverified) accounts of riot cops going out of their way to get crowds violent during these days' protests for example.
