the segment was very much pro use of the weapon...no contra opinions were even expressed...
that's also disturbing...
demonstrations were given, and military officials were interviewed who kept saying that these were needed in iraq
if one takes pause, however, you gotta fear these being used on Americans---protesters and the like...the show discussed them being used in prisons against riot scenarios...but to make that work will require great oversight...and who's to say it won't eventually be used on those overseeing as well? And who is to say that media-spun incident(s) will not cause the hypothetical oversight to be done away with?
sure, the force is non-lethal
but as such, the potential for abuse of power with this weapon only goes way up as a result
