Denver Won't Use Advanced Weaponry On DNC Protesters

Well, damnit. Where's will conservatives go for televised entertainment, then?

Denver officials expect to spend more than $18 million on police equipment for the Democratic National Convention — but the purchases apparently won't include high-tech weapons that use sonic waves to incapacitate protesters or goo guns to immobilize them.

The ACLU sued Denver in May under the state's public records law after city officials refused to provide documents showing how they were spending millions of dollars on police equipment.

They will not include non-lethal weapons that use "slime" or "goo" to immobilize protesters or that use microwaves or sonic waves to induce pain or other discomfort. Some convention watchers had alleged that the city might purchase a weapon that would cause people to defecate.


A shit gun? Hell, I'd pay for the privilege of shooting hippies with a gun that makes them crap themselves.
