WASHINGTON — A military whistleblower says federal officials sought some unusual crowd control devices — including one that’s been called a “heat ray” — to deal with protesters outside the White House on the June day that law enforcement forcibly cleared Lafayette Square.

In written responses to questions from a House committee, National Guard Maj. Adam DeMarco said the Defense Department’s lead military police officer for the National Capital Region sent an email asking if the D.C. National Guard possessed a long-range acoustic device — used to transmit loud noises — or an “Active Denial System,” the so-called heat ray.

DeMarco said he responded that the Guard was not in possession of either device. National Public Radio and The Washington Post first reported DeMarco’s testimony.

Use of either the acoustic device or the Active Denial System would have been a significant escalation of crowd control for the Guard members, particularly since the defense officials ordered that the Guard troops not be armed when they went into D.C.

2. I have no doubt this was done at Chump's behest - I'll bet any amount that

he talked about trying to inflict the maximum amount of pain and discomfort upon the protesters in D.C.

3. These people are evil

Prediction, if Trump seizes power and stays in office, there will be dozens of mass casualty events where Federal thugs mow down dozens of protesters. It's always been their goal, to brutalize dissenters and kill them by the hundreds.
