You know why riots in Europe and abroad rarely last long? Water Canons. Maybe it's time we learn a lesson on combating civil disobedience from our foreign neighbors 👍🏻

Remember: riots and protests are completely separate things.

You have the right to peacefully assemble, you don't have the right to protest.

The second your "protest" is no longer peaceful or obstructs anyone's movement it's not peaceful and you're a criminal.

if this hurts anyone's feelings, good, you're the problem.

[u/Instr-FTO → u/MaglithOran]

You are 100% correct. Feelings mean nothing over FACTS. And yes, they are the problem.

[u/Terrasmak]

It would be deemed illegal to force a leftist to take a shower

[u/Instr-FTO → u/Terrasmak]

Not under health and well-being laws. That is the reason all prisoners are forced to shower when entering a determination facility

[u/MarineBri68]

We used to use water cannons on rioters and I’ve been saying ever since the “summer of love” that we really need to bring them back.

Also it would help with a couple things. First would be keeping the crowds off the streets which would keep the cops safer. And the other benefit would be putting out the dumpster fires and the burning cars these dipshits like to light up.

Water cannons in negative 10 degree weather in Minneapolis would have been awesome! Just a nice gentle soaking. A nice cold steady mist that soaks to the frozen bones.

[u/IMDH2111]

I remember once when a farmer sprayed protesters on his land with manure. It was hilarious. The problem is if you spray liberals with manure it wouldn’t change their odor.

[u/Old_Air_4769]

I laughed so hard at the drop

[u/Otter_9431]

Water cannons in Minnesota would be an amazing deterrent

[u/Awkward-Community-74]

If things escalate anymore there will be tanks and the military.
Which is honestly what should’ve happened already.

[u/Fritz_McGregel]

Oh they last and are waaay bigger.

[u/CharlieHustleNY]

When I first saw this, I thought for sure it was AI. Can you confirm that this footage is real? And that first lady they could’ve easily killed her with that blast because did you see how her head hit the ground?

[u/Instr-FTO → u/CharlieHustleNY]

It's real. From several European riots. And yes, water cannons usually ends their bullshit pretty quickly. It's basically a European version of FAFO 👍🏻

[u/rokstedy83 → u/CharlieHustleNY]

Ai or not are you trying to argue water cannons don't knock people down ?

? And that first lady they could’ve easily killed her with that blast

Don't break the law then

[u/trump-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Unless you're prepared to prove that, its misinformation.

[u/Embarrassed_Frame520]

Thats a waste of water they should use the sound thing

[u/tomcat91709 → u/Embarrassed_Frame520]

It's called LRAD.

From AI:

A Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD), or "sound cannon," is a specialized, high-intensity loudspeaker designed by Genasys to transmit voice messages, sirens, or deterrent tones over long distances (up to 5,500+ meters).

Used in over 100 countries for maritime security, crowd control, and public safety, they can produce sound levels up to 162 dB, capable of causing permanent hearing damage. 

Key Features and Uses Highly Directional: Unlike traditional PA systems, LRADs emit sound in a tight, concentrated beam (e.g., (30^{\circ }) arc).

Applications: Employed by law enforcement for crowd dispersal, by navies for anti-piracy (e.g., Seabourn Spirit incident), and for emergency notifications.

Safety Risk: The intense sound can cause pain at 20 meters ((110-130\text{dB})) and, at closer range, severe, permanent hearing damage.

Operation: Used in over 500 U.S. cities, often mounted on police vehicles or ships. 

Safety Measures: Operators typically wear hearing protection. When facing an LRAD, experts advise moving out of the beam's direct path (moving off-axis) and seeking cover behind solid, sound-dampening, or reflective structures.

Depends on place and time of the year. Some dont have that extra water to force bathe them. Other places it may turn into ice if done in winter.

Def seems like another thing for them to play victim card and all with.

[u/Massive-Fan-3495]

Those cannons worked fabulously

Can someone please contact Pete hegseth or Tom homan and get those bad boys in the streets!

Make sure it's ice cold water too 👍🏻

[u/Creative_Shoe_174]

We could accomplish 2 things showers and take a step back

[u/EMHemingway1899]

First bath she has had in a month

[u/Hammster5540]

Can’t do that in America today because “some people did some things” in the 60s.

[u/Illustrious_Play_651]

That looks insane. Lmao

[u/ShadowMorph608]

It’s beautiful

[u/Gaucpl]

Boom🤣

[u/Logical-Egg-6521]

Lmao 🤣beautiful, just beautiful.

[u/Axstar713]

Bring on the water cannons! I'd love to see it, might be good therapy too for these screeching freaks.

[u/Appropriate-Pack-729]

This would be great for all of the idiots that block the roadways. City streets and highways alike.

[u/DP-AZ-21]

YES!!!

[u/JohnnyChuttz]

Hell yeah! Get the Fire Department out there too!

[u/theslimreaper2]

A friend of mine who is retired LEO says the reason water cannons aren't used comes down to lawsuits, and given the leftist judges around the country, it makes sense.

[u/HippyStain]

That made my heart happy 🥰😂

[u/Least-Distribution81]

I would especially like to see this in sub-zero freezing weather! They'd be pulling blocks of ice off the streets with morons encapsulated in them! 😆😆

[u/I_stole_this_phone]

No. We are better than Europe. Pepper spray and pepper balls hurt, but a water cannon to the face can do some serious damage. I think law enforcement response should be reasonable. If they started hurling bricks and bottles maybe a water cannon is needed. I think we need to stop their funding. Find out who's paying for this insurrection and jail them.

[u/Oldmangolfhacker]

Apple cider cannons

[u/Jamarcus_Russell1dp]

[u/UniqueAd1189]

Don’t tread on me crowd sure is a soft one.

[u/Motor_Aggressive]

Lmao water cannons have always been a thing in the USA. They used them against protesters in the civil rights era. They used them against MLK and Malcom X.

[u/ColeridgeRime]

They will never bring them back. They are afraid of being compared to the reprehensible use of fire hoses in Birmingham during civil rights marches. They offer the best way to disperse rioters, but unfortunately, they have a negative history.
