THE ALTERNATIVEsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #news7 years ago (edited)

Since i have seen alot of posts about police violence on here i thought this might be a topic of interest.

The idea behind the alternative is to stop the bullet from penetrating the body of the suspect. When the bullet is fired, it embeds itself inside the alloy ball. The alloy ball travels with one fifth of the speed of a bullet. It still hurts, alot but as i said before does not penetrate the body.

In my opinion thats a really good idea and on one hand i think it definitely could save lives but on the other hand im scared it could encourage police officers or other people to pull the trigger even faster. And even though it is not deadly it should still be handled with care.

Please let me know what you think about it in the comments below.

That's a good point, about how maybe it would encourage people to shot even sooner. At first I was rooting for it blindly, but you have made me doubt. Upvoted and following.

thx man appreciate it and followed you back :)

Similar to the stun gun idea, non lethal but police tend to use it first and ask questions later. In some cases it has killed people as well.

yeah exactly...in some certain situations this may could be deadly too who knows.

It is an interesting idea, but I do agree it could make users of the gun more trigger happy.
