Look, what do you want the cops to do when rioters start smashing up store fronts and ripping things apart? Use guns to kill em all? Use tear gas, which likely allows people to escape? This can probably be used to immobilize somebody with pain (plenty of things used by cops already cause plenty of pain, like tear gas, so that's nothing new) so wrongdoers can be arrested. I view it like an upgrade to the taser.
Am I worried about it being used in torture? I'm sure it'd be good at it, but I think that American society has not slid far enough to use torture to interrogate its own citizens.
But really, it seems to me that this is just a more effective taser. And I'd prefer if people didn't die when it can be avoided.
