You think your town hall meeting's law enforcement presence was authoritarian and heavy-handed?

Check this out: San Diego Sheriff Bill Gore deployed (but did not use) military type sonic crowd-control devices at two town hall meetings, one held by GOP Darrell Issa and the other by Democrat Susan Davis. These devices are the same as those used to control crowds of insurgents in the Iraq war theatre and have been linked to ear and brain injury.

This can't be going anywhere good.

"linked to brain injury"? Actually, this will work out perfect in MY town, it will cause brain injury and bring the public's intelligence down to the level of the people holding the meetings.
