        Maybe we shall say protesters / rioters should think twice BEFORE they set fire and destroy public properties... That's just SILLY for them to say "should have" this and that...

        If rioters know police is carrying non lethal weapons, they will be further emboldened to commit more serious assault like killing.

        The author needs to be put in position to be attacked by multiple rioters, feared for his life, then speak from experience. Otherwise he would have exactly ZERO credibility

        Easy for the coffee sipping writers to say when they're sitting in the comfort of rooms with A/C While you're at it, mind telling the world how to reverse global warming and end poverty? 🙄

        A stun gun is single use. Soooooo practical when being beat by over 10 people.

        Agree.. Th police is heavily under armed. Rioters are no longer scared of tear gas and rubber guns. We need more powerful tools to stop the violence (no matter how ironic it sounds).

        To think that they have already been using non lethal means such as pepper sprays and rubber bullets, I don’t see how stun gun is an effective option? It lacks range and shots, how useful is it when controlling a riot crowd in the hundreds or thousands?
