MEDUSA: Microwave crowd-control raygun

[David Morris]

They're also developing a non-lethal burning-sensation microwave gun.
Same incapacitating intent.  And just think how taser-happy (also
supposedly "non-lethal") the cops are now...

The only recourse is for citizens to start carrying their own
non-lethal weapons, or to develop shields against them.  Or just
outlaw their domestic law-enforcement use.
