Lesson Number One on How To Not Get Your Ass Beat By The Police (apologies to Chris Rock): don't approach the police. Distance, and silence, are your friends here.
That's part of the reason you go through the gas chamber in boot camp, not only to instill 'confidence in your equipment' but also to show you just what the mild stuff will do to you.
“Point blank range” is a direct indication of poor judgment on the part of the recipient of less lethal weapons. I miss the days of night sticks and K9s. Although a few more months of this crap and I’ll advocate for fixing bayonets and ball ammo.
I think that after they used during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's that water cannons now carry the same negative connotation as ax handles and letting the K-9's eat their fill before pulling them off peaceful demonstrators.
A LEO takes a job, enters a career of public service, and hopefully knows at some point he or she is going to be charged with controlling a demonstration. Demonstrations are incipient mobs are riots waiting to happen, but the civilians don't know that. "They have their rights!" Yeah, they do, but those rights do not include damaging property or hurting anyone. If they overstep their rights, they're FA, and then they'll probably FO. It's a shame that all these "smart" folks don't know the difference.
So go ahead, run your car at an officer, or get involved in a incident while armed. Nothing will happen, at least in your fairy land nothing will. In the real world you may be arrested, injured, or forced to assume room temperature. This is a free country - your call.
It is right there in the first sentence. When you use the word 'lethal' to describe it, even when you modify it with less, it is still capable of causing death.

What part of the word lethal implies comfort? How many levels of alternate definitions/uses must I go down to see that definition?
I would encourage the Anti-ICE-er's to ignore that 25' buffer but approach no closer than 11' to signal their contempt of ICE for denying their imagined Constitutional rights. I have never been to a protest, though I have attended 2 wars. I think I might even buy a bullhorn and stand 75' away and tell them that 25' buffer is BS. Nah...maybe not. Better to hire someone with blue hair and a septum ring to do it for me. CS gas in '65 back in bootcamp was enough for me.
Less Lethal. NOT necessarily NON-lethal. You're gonna be bruised and maybe broken, but you're probably gonna be alive.
Pain compliance works. Ask most dads.

To be fair, I don’t think that the noise is even a problem; just keep a respectful distance and keep your paws to yourself, and you’ll be fine.
they should be glad im not in charge.. some of the agitators would be head shot….
Too merciful; pelvic girdle.

Water cannons?
I don’t know why they’re not used in this country.

Water cannons are useful, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbozRJkHIyc
Loaded with the Israeli developed 30 day lasting 'skunk piss.'
BALL ammo? Bleeding heart. Shotgun rounds with flechettes.
That's what happens when you don't spank your kids.

Too bad the recipients can't somehow be visually graded and marked.
First time, OUCH!
Second event, OH SHIT!
Third event, not so much non lethal.
