ICE is now using LRAD to disperse crowds. How to defend against it. [View all]

LRAD safety sheet for protesters

Comments from the Reddit thread:
- Headphone style ear protection + plexiglass riot shield is the best protection. Curved riot shield can be reversed and aimed back at LRAD to reflect sound waves.
- Start building shields for frontliners
- One used plastic 55-gallon drum (once cleaned) becomes 4 shields. Cut off lid & bottom for 2 smaller ones & cut drum vertically for 2 large curved shields. Just add handles. I see them on marketplace for $10-25
- Satellite dishes work extremely well. Any parabolic dish made of a solid material.
