Leading neuroscientists believe that the UK Government may be about to sanction the development of nerve agents for British police that would be banned in warfare under an international treaty on chemical weapons.

A high-level group of experts has asked the Government to clarify its position on whether it intends to develop "incapacitating chemical agents" for a range of domestic uses that go beyond the limited use of chemical irritants such as CS gas for riot control.

The experts were commissioned by the Royal Society, the UK's national academy of sciences, to investigate new developments in neuroscience that could be of use to the military. They concluded that the Government may be preparing to exploit a loophole in the Chemical Weapons Convention allowing the use of incapacitating chemical agents for domestic law enforcement.

Not OK for Warfare, but OK for Crowd Control! Governments Protect Banks, not People from Banks!

Except when they're too busy protesting violently because the government made a (relatively) modest cut in the free shit they get.

I don't see hou you can have a non lethal nerve agent. Any concentration strong enough to disable a large man would kill an infant.

Eliminate state privileges for businesses first, and then complain about people "getting free shit". I don't think we should complain about people being shielded at least in part from the full brunt of state-exercised privilege.
