dirt catapults and launching nets

Could a small portable catapult be used to throw dirt on a climate fire?
Could cops use launched nets to apprehend folks and not tasers or bullets?
Just trying to think outside of the box since the box seems to be on fire.

The net seems a good idea. Cops need workable, non-lethal weapons... brush Sep 2020 #3

Save the nets for unarmed black guys getting into cars, or refusing to get into cars.

So many good ideas here.

since tasers don't always work, and many cops rely too much on shooting people with their gun in situations where they themselves have escalated it into a physical confrontation.
