U.S. military calls on White House to use "heat waves" to disperse protesters
Before clearing a square in Washington D.C. in June, U.S. military police requested a weapon that could hit a protester's skin, fill the area, and hit the target's body.
A military whistleblower said federal officials wanted to use crowd control devices, including some heat rays, to disperse protesters who had gathered outside the White House in June.
In a written response to a House committee question, National Guard chief Adam DiMarco said the top military police officer in the National Capital Territory of Defense sent an email asking if a long-range acoustic device had been used near a guard in the Washington, D.C. National Capital Territory. Whether? Sound or an Active Denial System (ADS), whether heat rays have been used.

DeMarco said he replied that no device was allowed to the guard. De Marco's testimony was first made public by National Public Radio and the Washington Post.
Both acoustic devices or ADS can be a significant means of crowd control for police or law enforcement, especially since defense officials have instructed them not to arm troops when entering the area. Law enforcement personnel were armed.
Although active-duty troops were sent to the area, they were based outside the district if they needed to.
The ADS was inaugurated by the military almost two decades ago. It was unveiled to the public in 2007. Evidence of its use in war has not yet been established.
The main function of the ADS is to emit an energy ray that creates a burning sensation, which is considered a non-lethal means. It is designed to disperse civilians, especially on the battlefield.

Initially that burn actually causes more serious injuries or burns. That is why the use of the device is still in doubt.
Long-range acoustic devices, also called sound cannons, produce louder sounds and are used to quell public protests. Law enforcement has used it.
The U.S. military has in recent years ordered the cannon to be used for naval military shield command and has been instructed to use the ship's rock or warning.
The statement that DeMarco House submitted to the Natural Resources Committee in late July is investigating the use of force against the crowd in Lafayette Square. His comments on the use of crowd-control devices came in response to a follow-up question from the committee.
De Marco's lawyer sent his answer to the committee on 26 August; NPR posted the document online on Wednesday.
The Trump administration has claimed that violent attacks by protesters on federal forces on June 1 in the front yard of the White House were peacefully calmed in the presence of the public.
The law enforcement and security officer's statement, on the other hand, has sparked controversy. He has been accused of killing black people at the hands of police that night and setting up Mount Officer's chemical agents against them.
A photo ceremony was held in front of a nearby historic church a few minutes before Donald Trump arrived in the area, forcibly clearing Lafayette Square, one of the longest in the country for protests.
