Should you choose to protest at the Democratic National Convention this year, you may be hit with a case of a muddy bottom. The cops are reputed to be considering the use of a poop gun, otherwise known as the "Brown Note," which blasts an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily. The use of this crowd controller would truly make a mark among scifi weaponry. Fox News asked Denver's biggest activist on how they will prepare for such an occurence. Click through for their answer.
Mark Cohen, co-founder of Re-create 68, an alliance of local activists, believes the government will use Brown Note come August. “We know this weapon, and weapons like it, have been used at other large protests before,” he told Fox. And is preparing by making sure there are plenty of medics on hand.
Denver's police department declined comment and city spokeswoman Sue Cobb said, “commenting on specific security preparations is not helpful to ensuring their effectiveness. I can say, however, that all of our security-related purchases for the Democratic National Convention will comply with federal and City requirements. We are working closely with the U.S. Department of Justice to ensure that the $50 million federal security grant is spent on personnel and equipment in the manner required by the grant.”
So that's not exactly denying the use of Brown Note. Activists, wear your Depends. [Fox News]
