Ferguson Police Exploring ‘Less Lethal’ Gun Attachment for Officers

Ferguson police explore 'less lethal' gun attachment (CNN Money)

Under fire for fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager last year, the Ferguson Police Department in Missouri is currently testing a "less lethal" option for its sidearms.

It consists of a small ball-like device that is clipped on at the end of a gun. When fired, the bullet embeds itself into the ball as it hurtles towards the target, who can be knocked down from the force. But, more importantly, the person probably won't get killed.
