Protesters in the portland area, there are reports and supporting videos that the police may be ultilizing an LRAD sonic weapon today (6/3/20). Please wear ear protection and anticipate noise of ~160db.

Hi, update (6/4/20, 2:30 am): Various warning tweets have since gained more traction on twitter and some have tweeted their sightings of the LRAD cannon today.

There have also been tweets that protesters today were handing out ear plugs to eachother en masse, but I haven’t seen any reports of LRAD being used to harm civilians yet, thankfully! But this could change.

As always, please continue to exercise caution at protests and bring hearing protection if you are able. While we must take rumors with a grain of salt we must also remember that police WILL NOT HESITATE to harm you unprovoked if they desire. Stay safe!

Earplugs apparently don’t help! If you see LRADS you should be ready to take off. here’s a thread about what LRADs do twitter.com/Sphynxian/status/1268387869690757122

Thank you so much for adding this info!
