Police Buy Pepperball Guns for Protest

Police preparing for a wave of demonstrations at next week's
biotechnology industry convention have a new weapon in their arsenal,
but some protesters say it's an example of non-lethal force taken too
far. It's called the Pepperball launcher, a weapon designed to pelt
people or the area around them with marble-sized plastic balls that
break on impact into a dusty cloud of acrid pepper dust. San Diego
police bought two dozen Pepperball launchers and plan to have them
ready for the BIO 2001 convention that runs from Sunday through
Wednesday, said SWAT team commander Lt. Cesar Solis. "It gives the
officers one more option, rather than resort to something that could
be lethal," Solis said. But Paul Marini, a political activist from
Oakland, said such devices can still cause serious injuries. The
Pepperball can fire six rounds per second. "It's an unholy alliance
between pepper spray and the rubber bullet," said Marini, who works
with the Midnight Special Law Collective, an organization that
provides assistance to demonstrators. "What they really are is maiming
weapons," he said. Officials with Jaycor Tactical Systems Inc., the
San Diego company that manufactures Pepperball, said serious injuries
aren't likely. Company videos show employees and volunteers being hit
with the plastic ball, which causes a welt but doesn't break the skin.
"The only way you are going to kill someone with this is if you hold
them down and shoot it down their throat," said Dennis Cole, a retired
San Diego County sheriff's captain who is a salesman for the company.
Unlike pepper spray, Pepperball doesn't require officers to approach a
suspect and can be fired from 30 feet away. And unlike tear gas, there
are no canisters that can be tossed back at police. The air-powered
launchers run from $180 to nearly $1,000. Jaycor officials said the
company has sold Pepperball to 400 law enforcement agencies, including
the police departments of New York and Los Angeles. Officers receiving
training for the San Diego conference know all about other protests in
recent years, including during the 1999 World Trade Organization
meeting in Seattle that resulted in more than 600 arrests and $2.5
million in vandalism and property damage. "We will be very
aggressive," police spokesman David Cohen said. "Our goal is to not
let it become a Seattle."
