Jenis Gas Pemedih Mata Yang Digunakan FRU

Menurut Pengarah Biro Guaman KEADILAN, Latheefa Koya, FRU menggunakan 2 jenis gas pemedih mata. FRU menggunakan kanister model 560 CS yang dikeluarkan oleh Federal Laboratories dan kanister model ALS5727 dikeluarkan oleh sebuah syarikat ALS Technologies Inc.

Beliau berkata, kedua-dua model kanister berkenaan iaitu dari Federal Laboratories dan ALS Technologies Inc mengeluarkan jenis gas CS yang boleh membahayakan nyawa manusia.

Sehubungan dengan itu, kami cuba membuat research mengenai kedua-dua jenis kanister yang digunakan FRU tersebut. Kanister model 560 CS yang dikeluarkan oleh Federal Laboratories boleh dilihat di website mereka di www.defense-technology.com.

560 CS

The Spede-Heat™ 37mm Long Range Round comes from the design of the Defense Technology® #17 Long Range Chemical Projectile Round. The Spede-Heat™ 37mm Long Range Round is designed to deliver one dual-ported chemical
or smoke canister from a 37 mm launcher 150 yards to the intended target zone.

The Spede-Heat™ 37mm Long Range Round is most widely used as a crowd management solution. It is used by Law Enforcement and Corrections for the rapid deployment of chemical agent from maximum stand-off distances. Fired
from a 37 mm launcher, the Spede-Heat – 37 contains one (1) canister ported on each end.

This round may be fixed in the air at an angle of approximately 25 – 30 degrees to achieve maximum stand-off, or it may be skip fired into the target area from closer ranges. When launching, it is recommended to have a spotter to ensure canisters do not land on rooftops or other areas of concern.

The Spede-Heat – C is the colored smoke variation of this product. It may be used for signaling or marking.

The Spede-Heat chemical and smoke projectiles are designed for outdoor use and have fire-producing capability. They are not intended for barricade penetration. Do not fire directly at personnel, as serious injury or death may result.

WARNING: This product is to be used only by authorized and trained Law Enforcement, Corrections, or Military Personnel. This product may cause serious injury or death to you or others. This product may cause serious damage to property. Handle, store and use with extreme care and caution. Use only as instructed.

Kesimpulan di sini, jelas sekali kedua-dua jenis kanister ini boleh menyebabkan kematian. Walaupun pihak polis manafikannya, maklumat yang kita dapat dari kedua-dua website itu sudah jelas.

“Kita sememangnya dapat dan ada kanister itu. Ini bukan kali pertama (ia berlaku). Yang saya dapat satu, masih panas sewaktu dikutip, tertulis Federal Laboratories,” kata Pengarah Biro Guaman KEADILAN, Latheefa Koya.

Bukti kanister juga sudah ada di tangan Pengarah Biro Guaman KEADILAN, Latheefa Koya. Apa lagi alasan pihak polis akan keluarkan selepas ini
