Police state here we come.

Don't tase me, bro!

If those things actually make it here then we're seriously going out with a whisper.

Regardless, I still prefer the water cannon. Hippies need a bath anyway.

@omg-ponies: Actually, it'll be plural...

"Don't taze Us, Bro!!"

"Ahhhh!"

@DustyButt: Hahaha

Makes me sad, but my belly still laughs.

@DustyButt: Thanks for your witty comment! I've added it to the graphic.

Don't taze me, ufo!

Oh boy, I can't wait for the RCMP to get their hands on this...

Funniest Photshop ever!

Dude's name is seriously Zazzo?

And he's building lighting-shooting mini-saucers in [his secret lair in] France?

This sounds like a job for Aquaman, or at least Blue Beetle.

shining a laser at something isn't called lasing it, because LASER is an acronym. Taser is also sort of an acronym, so why do we call zapping someone with a taser tasing them?

It had better taze me before I shoot it out of the sky with my shotgun, that's all there is to it.

Wasn't Zazoo the tucan friend of Muphasa, if it is, be aware, he's a friend of the monarchy!!

Tase me fanboy!!

Zazzo. ZAZZO! ( Tu vas le bouger maintenant ton cul, oiu? )
Calling ZAZZO!!! GET YOUR ASS TO PARIS!!!

@quendiljt: Actually, I've hear the material used in a laser referred to as a lasing medium or something similar.

flying, tasing roomba?

@quendiljt: The acronym laser is now a recognized noun, referring both to the device and also to the coherent beam of light produced. So suck it, grammar nazi.

this is what scares me the most, not deadly force or nuclear bombs but the semi-lethal weapons for subsiding large groups of UNARMED CIVILIANS. since when are unarmed civilians such a threat? seems to me like this technology is being pushed for a reason other than keeping the peace.

@quendiljt: The beautiful thing about language is that the users of that language get to make the language. The more a word is used the more likely it will get added to the dictionary of official words. My teacher always used to say that ain't isn't a word because it is not in the dictionary. I heard that it is now so I wish I could find that b*tch so I could tell her "you ain't gonna believe this"

Every time authoritarian groups come up with a violent way to control legitimate protesters, they invite equal countermeasures.

@Sublimenaltouches: Homer said it best, the best way to get peas is with a knife.

in order to have peace you must prepare for war. (some old guy who's name i can't remember)

Yeah. Don't mass murder crowds! But I'd shoot it down with a shotgun! LOL

considering the UN just decided tasering is a form of torture, and there have been record numbers of taser related deaths and rampant abuses of the devices this year from local law enforcement... well, i'll be shocked if this product doesn't take off

puns intended ;)

I just realized that this thing would end up being targeted by protesters with rocks, shoes, whatever is available. If this thing hit the ground and as a last resort the controller decided to set it off I wonder what it would do to the people right next to it or someone who happened to fall right on top of it. Now *that's* a lawsuit.

@DSaddict: Um, do you mean Einstein's quote: "You Cannot Simultaneously Prevent And Prepare For War"? I think you flipped it.

@Subterfuge:
@bugstomper2:

Probably better to capture one, reprogram it and send it back to electrocute the bastards that sent it in the first place.

@Pope John Peeps II:
yup. because it makes sense. after all, all of our language was made up at some time or another. technically, a laser lases, but i cannot lase something with a laser. but i do, anyways, and call it that, since saying im illuminating something with a laser doesn't convey the badassness that lasing something does.

@DSaddict:
@johnnyabnormal:
also, a metallica lyric is "to secure peace is to prepare for war"

i always thought he was saying "to secure penises, to prepare for war" cuz it was funnier and i couldn't NOT hear it that way when i was 13.

so i guess it's time to start proliferating cheap microwave generators for taking these things out. or big LASERS with which to LASE them.

@mwalker05:
won't you be shocked only IF it takes off?

@nutbastard: This is why I no longer "describe" anything, but instead I "wordsmack" it. Bitches.

verbing wierds language

@nutbastard:
HaHaHa

@nutbastard: What if you illuminate it "with extreme prejudice?" :D

@Pope John Peeps II: Oh, man, I am SO borrowing that! "Wordsmack" LOL!

@Sublimenaltouches: Weapons like this are intended for use on *armed* people hiding *among* unarmed civilians. There's potential for abuse with any weapons system, lethal or not, but the goal here is to deal with threats in a crowd. Right now, the best options are rubber bullets and tear gas, both of which injure and kill far too often, and both of which have a strong chance of injuring or killing those who weren't the intended target in the first place. Far better to have a non-lethal weapon hitting more of the crowd than an only mostly non-lethal one hitting even the occasional non-threat.

@yehoni:
"far better to have a non-lethal weapon hitting more of the crowd than an only mostly non-leathal one hiting even the occasional non-threat"

your confusing words have only mostly tazered your meaning which, at this point, is far funnier than fully non-tazering what you meant to say by using the occasional edit before you post... but it's Ok, i did it yesterday with the Ron Jeremy-Mario thing.

@yehoni:
"Weapons like this are intended for use on *armed* people hiding *among* unarmed civilians."

____ arm ____ bad guys LITERALLY!?

wasn't there an episode of the Twilight Zone that featured something similar to this?

Where's x5-452 when you need her?

@shuft: LOL, man, I was just thinking the same thing.

"New world order." They aint kiddin around. Right now it's "either you're with America or against it..." soon it will be "either you're with the world bank or against it!" Mark my words. (Or don't, up to you.)

What the F--- is wrong with people these days? Protesting is a democratic right, any government that inhibits protests in anyway is turning totalitarian. Another reason to hate the french.

@smeee: "Another reason to hate the french."

Sarcasm, or not?
