Those Israeli Biomedical Engineers Have Done It Again

         Buckeye Bureau Chief Gerry Manders says with all those protesters promising to do their damage in July, the City of Cleveland is seeking to buy 2,000 sets of riot gear, including riot-control suits and collapsible batons, as part of the city’s latest move to spend a $50 million federal security grant for the Republican National Convention. The city has even posted a notice seeking bidders to provide the gear to its contracting website.

But why spend all that money, when the Israelis have come up with such an ingenious crowd control method!  They call it “Skunk.”

And for those who want less violent means used in handling protests, this seems to be the perfect fit, because it’s guaranteed to clear an area without the risk of casualties.  It’s a riot control weapon that really works.  It’s non-toxic, non-lethal, but very effective.  The Palestinians want it banned because it makes them feel degraded.  The Blower can imagine how long the aroma might last on a demonstrator, although with most of those demonstrators, how would you know the difference?

Maybe that’s why three months after Ferguson erupted in protest over the police killing of unarmed Black teenager Michael Brown, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) added the Israeli weapon to its protest-crushing arsenal.
