I read the whole article, and clicked on many of the footnotes. Thanks & interesting stuff for sure, but I did not see a thing comparing crime in modern cities to the US expansion into the west.

I wish this tool was mandatory. I'll bet you'd be right about it alleviating some of the deadly force you would otherwise have to use. Like some others have said, like it's straight out of a movie. Pretty cool.

The BolaWrap demo is mostly performed on volunteer suspects standing still or walking slowly. How does it perform when a suspect is running, and their leg stride is faster than the BolaWrap can encircle them?

Maybe I've been working in the IT field with the mythical "sales guy land" where everything works and integrates with zero effort, but I am skeptical when the demo video focuses on people standing still or walking comically slow. I'm sure that it has a use in law enforcement, but would it be used enough to justify the belt space?????

I remember a number of years ago a TV news show did a piece on less than lethal weapons for police and military. It might have been 60 minutes, but just guessing. Anyway, they had a gun that shot a net, the Bolo, and a thing that looked like a military flame thrower that shot out a very thick glue. All very impressive when a reasonably compliant volunteer is your subject. Not likely practical to equip every scout car with though. The sad reality is sometimes force get's used and sometimes it goes badly. CEW is a good less than lethal option, but there are those who want it banned because of a few bad outcomes. How many lives have been saved because it was an option never seems to matter to the activists.

"Violence prevention researchers are invested in less violence, not fewer guns," Corby said. "Their end game is not to take away guns.""

Entirely too predictable and exactly the response I was saying not to bother with. Your bias is clear and you do not appear to be arguing in good faith which is why the politics forum was closed.

I’ll let this thread get back to cop talk.

I tried once when I was a newbie here. I didn't realize how biased and unwilling to discuss the subject rationally he was. And how insulting he is when discussing firearms. Now I ignore him entirely. I guessed you wouldn't last long either.

I would REALLY like to see this valuable thread continue, and implore everyone to keep it on topic. There is no longer a politics/religion section here.....

Probably better than tasing someone who isn't running in a straight line, where an errant prong would render it ineffective.

Especially for some that may mistake their firearm for a taser. I won't elaborate any further on that but we know what I'm referring to.

I agree with you.

Attack or debate the subject, not the person.

I also agree that we need to stick with the thread subject and try not to get too political. I'm as guilty as the next guy of doing that, but I'll try to be a good boy.
