    If there’s one thing that CIA funded protest in Hong Kong showed, the unserious pro-colonial rule side seemed to have prepared well from this image I found years ago.

      Honestly im surprised the lasers too blind cops isn’t more of a thing esp. with how easy it would be to permanently blind them and how hard it would be for them to figure out who shined a fucking laser from up to a mile away

        In 2020, green lasers were used regularly and Chad Wolf lied that multiple officers were permanently blinded by them (they weren’t). They used the lasers as an excuse to use more repressive crowd control

        American cops are so trigger happy if they see a red dot they’ll assume it’s from a sight and might just start shooting at anything nearby

          The thing is im pretty sure those high powered lasers they wouldn’t see the source and then they wouldn’t see anything ever again

            IR lasers can cause eye damage without triggering a blink reflex think-about-it

              They’re actually kinda scary ngl

              I posted a video the other night i saw of some nerd on youtube who built some stupid powerful laser, already enough to set records, then put an optical lens on it to focus it and long story short it could ignite (burning, not melting) a penny in seconds
