USA Today: Santa Fe Shooter Used "Less-Lethal" Weapons

USA Today: Santa Fe Shooter Used “Less-Lethal” Weapons

USA Today wrote that the Santa Fe Shooter used “less-lethal” weapons or the death toll would have been much higher. Less-lethal? Less Lethal weapons shoot things like rubber bullets or bean bag rounds. A taser is a “less-lethal” weapon. A shotgun and pistol are not less-lethal.

Two details set the Santa Fe shooting apart from other recent deadly attacks: explosives and the use of less-lethal…

Cop Uses Less-Lethal Pepperballs, Bad Guy Uses Real Gun

Cop Uses Less-Lethal Pepperballs, Bad Guy Uses Real Gun

There is an inherent issue with police using less-lethal weapons: bad guys don’t use the same. In Tulsa, Oklahoma on July 3, police officers walked up to speak with the male and female occupants of a minivan parked outside a hotel at around 1:15 p.m.  The driver abruptly drove away from the police.

When officers ran the license plate, they saw that it came back to a different vehicle. They…

A more specialized option: Police look to bear arms with less-lethal weapons

Police in more than 20 North American cities are testing the latest in less-lethal alternatives to bullets — blunt-impact projectiles that cause suspects excruciating pain but stop short of killing them. Or at least that's the goal. Police have long had what they considered nonlethal weapons at their disposal, including pepper spray, stun guns and bean-bag projectiles. But even those weapons have caused deaths, leading to a search for less lethal alternatives. Micron Products Inc., based in Fitchburg, Mass., makes the new ammunition. These projectiles are much larger than rubber bullets and have silicone heads that expand and flatten on impact, enhancing pain and incapacitating a suspect in a way that resembles being hit by a hockey puck. The projectiles, with an average price of $25, carry a variety of payloads, including a powder used in pepper spray, marker rounds used to identify riot agitators and a malodorant that smells like sewage.

They want an option that bridges the gap between baton, Taser and their service weapons.

The quest has taken on new urgency in the past year amid furor over a string of high-profile police shootings of black men, including the death of Ferguson, Mo., teen Michael Brown. Brown, a black 18-year-old, was fatally shot by white Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, spurring a national "Black Lives Matter" movement. The projectiles do not penetrate the skin, like conventional bullets, but they do cause pain and discomfort. A person hit in the torso at close range during a disturbance in Canada got a large bruise but no lasting injury. No one has been shot in the head with the projectiles at this point and there is the possibility of a serious or deadly injury in the event of a close-range shot to the head.
