Today I was reading about a device the military has access to called ADS that is used as a crowd control measure. It fires a concentrated beam of electromagnetic waves at targets, stimulating the sensation of being on fire.

Is it possible to defeat this new tool of worker oppression and if so how? Can protesters affordably defeat this measure on a mass scale?

    The sonic weapon is more likely than the heat ray. Heat ray will likely cause horrific burns which will lead to bad publicity

    however it appears they are satisfied with the effectiveness of their existing weapons - tear gas, rubber bullets etc, and won’t be using these new weapons

      Austin pd set up a sonic weapon early in the protests but took it down without (to my knowledge) ever using it
