On report said the police's use of less-lethal munitions 'served no clear law enforcement purpose: they did not prevent property damage, effectively disperse the crowd, or allow peaceful demonstrators their right to protest.'
. The DOJ even filed for a temporary restraining order against the ban, stating that it was likely to increase the use of potentially lethal force by police and violate a 2012 Consent Decree agreement between the federal government and the SPD meant to examine reduce the SPD's alleged use of unconstitutional policing and excessive force during 2011.
The CPC also advised the SPD to consider non-lethal patrolling techniques and alternatives to police use of batons and riot shields, implements of force that do"not promote community trust" and add to the"warrior mentality" of SPD officers. Lastly, CPC recommended a full review of the SPD's use of force policies; a review of SPD's strategic plans to search for disparities in the way officers attend, appear, and use force during demonstrations; and an inventory of the SPD's remaining crowd control munitions with plans to dispose of them while maintaining a prohibition of their sale to other law enforcement agencies.
As such, the OPA supported current SPD policy language forbidding officers from the"indiscriminate usage" of such munitions or shooting them at people's heads and"other sensitive areas."
