My brother came up with an idea for a crowd control measure while watching the complete chaos that was Ferguson ,Missouri.
Ingo seems like a natural place to hash out the details, or discuss whether or not it could even be done.
His idea is simple.
You know the dye that banks put in their "dye-packs" that mark the bad-guys?
What if you could load dye-filled rounds into police sniper rifles? Deploy them on roof-tops around the problem area(s).
Police see a problem? Mark 'em
Let the guys on the ground sort them out after they flee the scene.
I'd bet the crowd might disperse more quickly if they start seeing the people around them being "marked".
Seems like it would be easy to do, but then again, how do you make basically a paint-ball round for a high-power rifle?
You would need to reach a reasonable distance to make it worthwhile.
