Why does riot police not use paintball guns...

Why does riot police not use paintball guns? It hurts when they hit you and marks you so it's easier to track people when they scramble.

because it's not as gratifying as knocking some vegetable growing cunt down with a sandbag.

They use rubber ball.

why use fake ass paintball guns when you have the real thing to shoot those niggers dead in their tracks.

Isnt this considered chemical warfare in some degree? Im not disagreeing with it, by all means, let the hippie antifaggots feel bern of capsasum on their flesh, but where do we draw the line on the shit?

Isn't British police only using them? Couldn't find any info on US.

we draw the line when they start misusing them on real people like right wingers and not niggers, spics, kikes, gays and trannies.

Trying this hard to be edgelord...

Sort of this, but it's not because they are niggers but more that people who you are trying to shoot are compelling you to shoot because they are an immediate and deadly threat.

Rioters, idk. Paintball with stinky stuff would be interesting.

newfag is newfag.

Well, we do agree on that.

>vegetable growing
>bad

Paintballs wouldn't really stop someone who was angrgy enough and was keeping their head down, rushing towards you

Police are not restricted by laws against chemical warfare, because they are not military. Same thing applies to tear gas and mace and such.

antifa deserves to have asbestos powder in those paintballs.

Go green general

fucking saved

Police are absolutely restricted by chemical weapons laws. Tear gas is nonlethal, and OC spray isn't chemical.

anyone have that webm of Pepper Balls being brutalized by the police?

They have paintball guns with pepper balls, as well as rubber grenade rounds, sandbag shotgun rounds, and rubber pellet shotgun rounds.

criminals in US use real guns...
while in UK, unless you have the backing of an international organization, your best weapon is a dulled 3-pronged spork

Why not use them against antifags? Isn't it easier to just block off exits and just shoot them into submission?

>taking out the trash is edgy

Checked

And I didnt think about that, capsasum is a natural occuring substance, so fair game.

Watch as some aussie fuck give them the idea to use gympie gympie

they HAVE them. i think a better question is why do they not actually use them

they never use them when they should. if police actually used them, we would have baltimore burning for 3 days straight or fucking ANTIFA beating the shit out of republican voters

the only time we saw a remote sense of law and order was at the Trump speech in phoenix where some cops shot an ANTIFA rioter in the dick with one

Because the goal of riot police is to disperse the crowd, not injure them. A well trained riot team will funnel protesters into the exits they left open, and barricade everywhere else.

>googled gympie gympie
Jesus, fuck that. Anyway, it'd still be illegal since it penetrates the skin. OC is meant to irritate the eyes/nose/ears/mouth, not blind and asphyxiate you.

>capsasum is a natural occuring substance
Elemental chlorine is also naturally occurring, but still considered a chemical weapon, and has been used as such.
Capsaicin is very much a chemical irritant like chloroacetone.

... cap... sasum..?

American education, man

...

Shouldn't they get people who fight and start violence arrested? And isn't it easier to subdue them when you hurt them. Once people start getting bruised, whoever doesn't want to get hurt will just get on the ground?

The whole point of riot gear and tactics is teamwork. There are methods to apprehend violent individuals (funneling, grab teams, etc), but again, the overall goal is to disperse the crowd with minimal injury. Nobody's going to break the line, wade into a hostile crowd, and try to single out one person. Any apprehensions that occur are really just a bonus.

Love this

That being said, there ARE some agencies that use marking agents to identify certain individuals. But arrests and apprehensions happen after the event is over, sometimes days or weeks later.

Its usually some lone woman who thinks the police won't knock her to the ground before she gets shoulder checked. And then she gets arrested, zip tied and a "why did you not comply with law enforcement instructions?"

That's when you pull out the tactical riot katana.

Jesus Fucking Christ
1. That's not the state of Sweden today
2. The girls and dresses in left pic are Norwegian
3. Left pic is current, so it's not "then"
4. You still spelled it wrong

no, it is basically pepper spray in a biodegradable shell that can be used for longer ranges.

they do

capsaicin is the stuff in peppers that burns your tongue.

Yeah it would. People aren't the hulk. Even supremely angry negroes stop in their tracks once they get maced. Much less when the mace is in balls exploding all over you.

you would also have to take into account the FPS of the paintball, if it is going fast enough it could break skin, if you add Capsaicin to the open wound it will be extremely painful.

Riot police should use live ammo.
Get shit in order.

Sad!
