Microwave radiation as crowd control measures? Surely this counts as unnecessary force?

We have passed a dangerous mark in the sand here.

The use such things in Iraq and Afghanistan, there are also rumours of larger ones that are able to melt flesh and even vehicles.

The weapon, which is claimed to cause no permanent harm, could also end up being used by police to control civilians.

Looks like they got this thing ready just in time to deal with violent, rioting senior citizens when they find out that their Medicare Advantage has been compromised.

It's the perfect solution to restrain the disgruntled masses who are about to learn that their unemployment benefits have run out for good.
