Cap guns, too. One rioter: ‘I thought the police were already using stink bombs, but turned out to be some sort of natural phenomenon when we ran at them.’ </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=29120#post-81699 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 09:25:11 +0000 Qoxiivi 81699@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nice - cracking idea.

Now that we have authorised the deployment of the water canon, we must also authorise the micro-artillery of the super soaker ant-riot personal attack weapon, a device of proven effectiveness and surgical precision.’</p> <p>Riot police will be able to use their pump action water pistols to take on individual rioters in the midst of heated frenzy. With increased accuracy, range, and longevity these high powered weapons replace the standard luminous yellow digital pump pistol that proved largely ineffective in Tottenham, Croydon and Manchester.</p> <p>Police have welcomed the announcement. The Association of Chief Police Officers issued the following statement, ‘We welcome the government’s authorisation of these weapons. We have been asking for garishly coloured, pump action, high pressure water dispensers for some time. We are sure that those involved in looting, riot, and violence will think again if faced with the prospect of getting a humiliating soaking. We only wish that Mr Cameron would also authorise Non-Expanding Recreational Foam guns too.’ </p>
