Tell me what you do if 80,000 angry people show up. You can’t arrest them all while they’re trying to beat the officers to death, so that basically leaves crowd control measures, and as a last line, lethal force.
If a substantial portion of them have gas masks, we’re basically skipping straight to lethal force unless acoustic crowd control is more effective than I currently believe.
If that happens, the magoos would have brought them on themselves and have no one to blame but themselves.
I do wonder if some of the newer nonlethal options might be something they keep at the ready (such as directed energy weapons, LRAD) if they want to avoid having to shoot a lot of domestic terrorists.
