The Business Of Less-Lethal Weapons
As violent clashes continue between law enforcement and protesters in Portland and around the country, debate is swirling around how police can cut back on lethal force. Some companies are stepping up to offer new high-tech tools like remote handcuffs for police to use instead of the more dangerous options like pepper spray, rubber bullets and flash grenades.
Human rights group Amnesty International analyzed 500 videos from protests from May 26 through June 5 and found 125 incidents of excessive force across 40 states and the District of Columbia.
“We saw a misuse of tear gas, pepper spray, pepper balls, 40 millimeter impact rounds, basically every combination of less-lethal weapon being used in inappropriate ways,” said Amnesty International weapons investigator Brian Castner.
Still, some insist that having options is important for avoiding the need for a firearm. “All of these devices should be at hand for the cops to use other than deadly physical force being used by a firearm because it’s the only profession in America where the citizens give you the right to take your life,” said Corey Pegues, former New York Police Department Deputy Inspector.

U.S. voters passed 40 ballot measures putting limits on AI data centers this week, as huge 1GW AI data centers from OpenAI, Meta, SpaceXAI, Amazon, Google and more push up water and power bills and put a strain on local resources. One of the issues that continues to come up is water usage, which is needed to cool the GPUs inside data centers running AI workloads. Closed-loop liquid cooling keeps water use low inside many modern AI data centers, but external cooling is still needed to move heat outside of the buildings and that requires large amounts of power or water in hot climates. CNBC visited data centers and spoke to researchers to find out the truth about how data centers use water.
