America's growing gangs of armed, arrest-making, untrained rent-a-cops

The chunkers weren’t even guns, not legally anyway, but a ten-second
burst at close range would chew somebody’s face off. They were Israeli riot-control
devices, air-powered, that fired one-inch cubes of recycled rubber. They looked like the
result of a forced union between a bulipup assault rifle and an industrial staple gun,
except they were made out of this bright yellow plastic. When you pulled the trigger,
those chunks came out in a solid stream. If you got really good with one, you could shoot
around corners; just kind of bounce them off a convenient surface. Up close, they’d
eventually cut a sheet of plywood in half, if you kept on shooting, and they left major
bruises out to about thirty yards.
