Pain-Compliance Techniques

I would like to point out a simple but effective solution to pain-compliance. It is a stretcher. It has been used by many police departments across the country to remove peaceful demonstrators going limp. It is not only easier on the demonstrator, but much easier on the police. Of course it does not make a lasting impression or inflict bodily damage to the demonstrator, which is evidently what some of the police departments want. There is a place for pain-compliance, but only for those violently resisting arrest. Not for a protester whose only crime is singing hymns and a passion for unborn human life.
