In France, there has recently been a lot of action between the police and people protesting in the streets (the yellow jackets). During these events, the Police used a non-lethal weapon called the Flashball. The problem with Flashballs is that they're still projectile weapons and for that reason, they have caused a lot of broken bones and even permanent damages like people losing an eye.
What's your take on the Flashball and what do you think a safer alternative could be ?
