Time for Some Water Cannons

A question asked quite a few years back by us, and this past summer by others, and finally by our old friend over at CrimeFileNews:

  • If the goal is to reduce injuries, then we need to stop pretending that chemical agents and kinetic projectiles are “gentler” options. Tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, and impact munitions put people in emergency rooms. Sometimes they put them in hospitals. Always they create lawsuits, especially in blue states where juries reward bad behavior with lottery-sized verdicts.

    There is a better tool, and it works.

    Properly used water cannon trucks drastically reduce injuries. No chemicals. No burns. No broken bones. No permanent damage. Just water. A lot of it.

This would be especially effective in the current weather conditions (especially in Minnesota) - a light spray directed in conjunction with the strong midwestern breezes and all the protests would evaporate long before the resulting ice crystals would melt. Salt trucks on standby and any disruption would be minimal.

Have you seen the videos of Minnesota pantifa rioters pulling over cars and going through them, looking for evidence of ICE involvement? Or these same terrorists accosting citizens on the street wearing anything red, white and blue, and making them remove it in order to pass safely along city streets? This is supposed to be America, but the communists are in full control as police are ordered to stand down and do nothing.

Until the communists instruct their minions to lay down in front of the trucks.

The water systems are not man portable and are difficult to redeploy throughout a rapidly changing theater like a riot which may cover several full city blocks in circumference. The goal is not to reduce injury. The goal is to correct behavior. While effective in a static position, it is best used to augment what are deemed today as conventional non lethal force weapons.

How many colors in a rainbow, how many gallons in a tanker truck?

How many pounds of kool-aid does it take to sweeten and thoroughly color those how many gallons?

And, finally, does kool-aid delay the time it takes for water to freeze?

If they did not want to use big water trucks they can get handheld air pressurized water cans. CFD uses them. It's a 2 1/2 gallon stainless steel can with a hose. You fill it with water, put the cap back on, then use compressed air (like from a gas station). Shoots a stream 50 to 60 feet for about 1 minute. They could even put a dye in the water to mark the trouble makers. Could be carried in a regular car. Very portable.

You don't need a lot of water to completely soak the jerks. Even a fine mist sprayed over the interferers is enough to stop them in the winter cold.

Beta males Walz and Frey and that sobbing, blubbering "police chief" are CAUSING all this, turning what could be a quiet, orderly exchange of paperwork, cuffs, and prisoners inside a secure facility into these howling, whistling, exploding disorders on the public streets that endanger everyone.

No better than Venezuela today, with any and all sorts of "militias," "neighborhood security forces," random gang members, and unknown thugs with gov't-provided AKs stopping people, pulling cars over, checking phones for "evidence" that someone doesn't like Maduro.

"Training for citizens." Small, terrified 78-year-old lady given an FN-FAL for "practice" in hunting "Americans." Poor thing couldn't even swing the barrel up off the ground.

Iran right now, the same and far, far worse. Water cannons? They use 12.7s on crowds.

Send in the troops to stop the BS. Today it is reported that 1500 will go to MN
I hope they add to that number. Keep our troops, federal & local safe no matter what. Years ago we use to hear "wait till your father gets home", the original scared straight. A little fear of consequences is a good thing, throw in a little shame & you get a positive outcome.
Men who father children then walk away should know shame, woman
having babies minus a good father should know shame. Any elected official & those that vote for them should know shame. If you parent a child, it should be your responsibility to feed, house & educate, child support should not be a government program, my money should not feed children I did not birth. Minus these simple rules we end up exactly where we are with generational stupidity

I believe that in some countries the water cannon trucks are also filled with a dye that when the water is sprayed on clothes & skin it remains for several days. Laws in those countries allow the police to arrest people within a several days timeline of the riot if they have the dye on their clothes or skin-probable cause to establish that they were part of the riot. No confrontation at the source of the riot and less manpower intensive. I like that idea.

Why do we allow mayors and governors to use their police departments as their political playthings? We've always demanded a certain level of independence at the federal level of DOJ from the president. Yet a blue city mayor can decide which groups will not receive protection from the police when they're being attacked and no one speaks out against this.

I'd prefer tanks to just roll these assholes over. Don Lemon spread a rumor that a church supported ICE so he and a group of fellow communists entered and took it over during a worship service. It was a Christian church. These idiots don't go to mosques where the somali fraudsters and terrorists are. They're chasing people in the streets calling them Nazis and demanding they declare they're anti ICE. POTUS needs to act and stop threatening to take more action. The rioters and politicians encouraging this and threatening ICE officers need swift and lasting consequences.

Would love to see them frozen mid scream. That said, be like the French farmers who spew actual merde (shite) on things.

With water cannons they'd still sue because they think they slipped and got scared. Live rounds or round them up and put them on a train/massive truck, hand cuff them to benches, and send them straight to prison

Blue dye the water. Easier to spot them. These people are very viscious. Show no mercy.

You’ll never see the water used in the US. The media would have a field day using the scene to link it to the civil rights demonstrations of the early 60’s. The media would relish the images as they breathlessly link the law enforcement entity using the water to sheriff Bull Connor’s and the KKK.

Yes, in May 1981, daredevil Dan Goodwin, dressed as Spider-Man, scaled Chicago's Sears Tower (now Willis Tower), and the Chicago Fire Department tried to stop him using a fire hose, alongside other tactics, to prevent the stunt and highlight high-rise safety issues. Goodwin, nicknamed "SpiderDan," successfully reached the top, planting a flag, but his climb drew significant attention to fire safety.

I remember my father telling me in the ‘90’s the commies will take over America without firing a single shot. That it’ll collapse from within. And I was a young boy going to Brother Rice & I thought, naw no way that’ll happen people aren’t that stupid. Then I got on the job & was I wrong. And it’s so obvious who the useful idiots are. There are 2 parties in the USA. If you were to pick one to infiltrate, which avenue would you choose & how? Does it make any sense now? Not all, but look at the majority of the R Conservative Party & voters & see what their believes are. Is this the avenue you’d choose? A bunch of family units who believe in a traditional marriage between & man & a woman, who don’t believe in abortion, that enjoy freedom & the 2A, are patriotic, have a good work ethic & it’s embarrassing to be a mouth breathing freeloader, have a 9-5 job, look presentable, etc
Or would you hijak a disgusting liberal D party with all their filth & abominations, Sodom & Gomorrah Baal worshipping beliefs & practices, unpatriotic, like killing babies (sacrifice), flood them with false idols & lies (King, movements, antifa, on & on) go ahead read about these people I dare you. Gun control, look like purple hair nose ring slobs, have no problem not working & collecting welfare for generations, etc

Pretty easy which path would be easier. But don’t fall for the R’s either. It’s just harder for them to be traitors

10:54:00 AM- "Nobody knows what the fuck you are talking about". Reply: I think I figured it out for you on what the poster was saying. You fill the fire extinguisher with water and then find a compressed air source to pressurize it. Most gas stations still have air compressors to fill tires. The fire stations have air compressors as well as motor maintenance garages. Those fire extinguishers have the same valve as a tire. Please enroll in some reading comprehension and vocabulary classes. There are better adverbs to use instead of fuck.
