The main reason this becomes a left-right issue is that when is the last time you saw a violence at a right wing protest? When is the last time you saw a right wing protest? The closest would be an anti-abortion rally which doesn't seem to draw the numbers or the violence to warrant testing crowd control weapons.

The left will whine because they will be the target as their protests tend to have the destructive nature that non-lethal force was designed for. You can argue its only the anarchists or the communists from answer or whatever, but regardless of who, its when that would matter.

I can understand the gun-shy nature of the military. Just look at all the bullshit out there about depleted uranium, so if we were using some unknown weapon that made you shit your pants or whatever, the claims would be everything from birth defects to mind control, and the unscientific press wouldn't question it from their sources much like we see in the mideast.

Now I don't think that should MATTER, I could care less what false claims are made, but I can understand the concept even if I don't agree with it.
