Just because violence occurs at a left or right ralley does not mean that group holding the ralley perpetrated it. Your statement portrays the left as violent people but yet it is the left who cries for peace. From my experience the left tend to be much less agressive and violent than the right.

When a bean bag gun misfires, all you get are some beans.

As for testing weaponry on crowds....well I've been hit with tear gas and bean bag projectiles. Both times, I was involved in a legal protest and not one member of the protest had made offensive actions towards law enforcement officials or anyone else, for that matter. Cops get anxious. It's a fact. Sometimes people get the pepper spray for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'd be pretty pissed if my 78 year old grandmother was shot with a microwave weapon because she happened to be shopping at the same time there was a strike or something.
