Looks super over designed with a ton of failure points tbh.
Like I can see one of those pullies failing or the tear gas pump springing a leak and then suddenly you're just up against a wall covered in mace.
Further more if you just threw a canister over the top of it they've got nowhere to go.
I know, I was barely joking
I would like to climb up the wall and piss on the driver
Shadow app is helping develop this technology. Your brocialist body fluids won’t be able to stop this more humane policing
Literally just throw something over the top of it, they've just backed themselves into a wall lmao
my mech Eng classes were chock full of the overzealous fucking nerds who’d design this trashheap. ‘what if we eliminated damping for max fash factor, maybe add fire decals’
Why the hell does the wall need hydraulics?
What should just be a forklift with some walls on a hinge that some dude can open is now as complex as an excavator.
I feel like a lot of this stuff means cops are horny for an insurgency.
They will probably feel really good about this until some pissed off mechanic or engineer starts dropping improvised explosives on them with a drone. This would work great in Latin America but this is just digging your own grave in any industrialized country lmao
This would work great in Latin America
we've already beaten armored vehicles with oil, you think we'd be afraid of a moving wall
tbh i'm actually really afraid of brazilian cops, but it's definitely not because of fancy equipment
it's mostly because they act pretty much like an occupying force that can murder us with impunity
they kill between 6 and 7 thousand people every year, and we have about 2/3 the US population (where the police kill 600-700)
to give you some context:
in an operation from 2015, the police in bahia killed 12 people
when questioned about it, the governor (rui costa, from the PT - yes, lula's party) said the police were like "top goal scorers": if they see a chance to score a goal, they should try to do it, even if sometimes they miss and people complain
so uh... yea that's pretty much how it goes
That’s where you are wrong, sweatie. In Latin America, engineers and PMC might protest against governments like Venezuela and other communist dictatorships. But America is back, the Orange man is gone, what do the PMC have to be upset about?
As for those antifa thugs, they talk a big game, but I’m reporting them on Facebook ✍️
Maybe we should attempt to address the material reasons underscoring why people riot?
Nah, let's give shitloads of money to pigs and develop portable wall technology for pigs so they can more effectively quell riots
When the state sees its citizens as enemy combatants, this is what we get.
Mom can we have transformers?
We have transformers at home.
Transformers at home:
So uhhhh what’s the plan when the protestors actively use your riot-tank in their day to day job.
This is a very specific use item. Unless they're giving cops like 10-25 of them to use for more common open area mass protest events the best they can use them for is for urban chokepoint area-of-denial.
Which I suppose would be alright since it allows them to cut off areas more securely while using less personal to maintain a chokepoint, allowing them to reallocate them to the main force.
waiting for some protester to buy riot cop gear and walk up and steal the thing
