Belgrade authorities have used sound weapons on the crowd of protesters. The video description has some educational links.
There are lots of videos around.
Americans, take notes. The US government will use these tactics to disrupt protest, no doubt about it.

Honestly, we avoided a massive tragedy at that moment. People described that it sounded like a car or airplane was coming at them at full speed, so they instinctively ran away from the roads. People further away didn’t see or hear anything, they just saw a crowd running in panic and so they ran as well. I was maybe 50-100m away from where it happened, and all we heard was noise, yells, and then people running, so the people around me also started running, but we all stopped after maybe 5s.
A lot of people think that our overlord wanted to cause a stampede which would lead to thousands of injuries and just chaos in order to discredit the protests. Or maybe they wanted to launch the cannon after the 15 mins of silence were over, which would cause mass confusion since nobody would have any idea what was going on, but triggered it early. In any case, the psychopath used an illegal weapon to attack people literally standing still and being quiet.
Fortunately once people are aware of such tricks, they won’t be effective anymore
Pne of the most sliky, pathetic strategies.
- use the sound cannon
- stampede
- many people injured
- protest are now illegal bc safety
How would you fight that tech?
If by “fight” you mean “defend” … You can build a shield to reflect it: https://www.vice.com/en/article/audio-engineers-built-a-shield-to-deflect-police-sound-cannons/ Details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rnaSvs_WMYmlymEBa2R8fFxBu4apEjH4uX9lRcib1ZM

Comment and upvote boys, not reddit, no meta, not shitter, not legacy media will report on this. This is why we exist
A thread about this is literally pinned on r/europe.
Edit: Also on front page of r/popular with >66k upvotes.
Seems like peaceful protest is no longer an option. They just forced people to go for the second option.
There’s also this alternate view from the top:

And let’s be honest: Whoever uses a weapon like that in a crowd like that is playing with lifes. That can led to a crowd panic, which will kill people.
It’s still not entirely clear to me: did the government really use these weapons? I don’t recognize enough from the photos. :( And don’t understand myself in such weapons either. What I would like to add to the conversation, however, is that Novak Djokovic and several other prominent athletes FINALLY support the protests.
