“Ghost Busters” Riot Slimer riot control

This riot control idea looks like it was taken straight out of Ghost Busters.

Rioters could soon be in for a slippery surprise. Researchers at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, US, are working on a new non-lethal weapon that could quite literally bring them to their knees – by sliming them.

The institute has developed a super-slimy substance. When fired at an unruly mob it causes rioters to simply slip over.

I hope the slime that comes out is either green or pink. That way the idea stays true to the original found in the 1984 ghostly flick.
