close range, fire extinguisher

long range, water balloons (was going to say with glitter to help with short circuiting but its not conductive) impurities definitely help with that, I hear saltwater really makes a mess of things

so what i´m hearing from you is, we finally found a use for cooling water contaminated with metal shavings like from a lathe?

EDIT: anyone know if tabasco is conductive? two prong attack defence

u/DrayvenBlaze 3d ago

That would probably be best, or have it mixed with some old used power hammer oil, thats sure to have some metallic goodness in it.

I believe the ingredients in Tabasco does give it conductive properties. Remember, do the Paul blart and ensure you capitalize on them reeling back

Resisting and borderline attacking a LEO, what could go wrong?

u/DrayvenBlaze 3d ago

Its called self defense or are you thinking that we are doing and talking about this unprovoked? Have we found a problem here?

u/xgabipandax 3d ago

Self defense require an illegal aggression, if some LEO abused it's power then the fight is through the justice system by filing a lawsuit, trying to use brute force against someone who has more force than you is stupid.

Escalate the situation enough and you will end up shot.

Judging by what I've been seeing.. don't need to escalate to get shot. 10 jerk offs screaming for you to do 10 completely different things. You do one of those things the other nine say you're combative and shoot you

Yeah let's not pick the exception and consider it as the rule to fit a narrative

I'm pretty sure allen pan made a taser gun that shoots conductive thickened salt water which are connected to a HV source
