Less than Lethal weapon attachments

Have any of you see or heard of this? http://www.alternativeballistics.com/news

I just read/watched an article on CNN. It is an interesting concept. It is no surprise that Ferguson is going to be the first police department to test it.

Just curious about anyone's thoughts.

Prrsonally I find this to be a dangerous thing for LEO's to have to fumble with, use, re-learn their training, etc. I think this would get more cops killed than bad guys saved.

Oh how about don't do bad shit? Don't confront a cop? Obey commands? I mean even if it's an unlawful arrest, it's better to live to fight it later than to die trying.

No shit.. I get the person may have a bad day but..... so robbing convenient store and attacking a cop is not life threatening?

Honestly I think its some dude with a "million dollar idea" like the full imaging body scanners at the airports that had to be totally redesigned after a knee jerk reaction by the government to buy into it for millions and millions (if not billions) of dollars.

If they have time to deploy this they have time to use any other non-lethal option. Also, more expensive if not properly deployed and end up shooting the person with a bullet. Where is the failsafe?
