Warsaw Rather Odd Development

 This AM (Tuesday)....the buildings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MSZ) and the Chancellery of the Prime Minister (KPRM) were urgently evacuated.  I should note here....in relation to each other, they are about 2 minutes walking from each other.

Other odd thing....noted by a couple of poles....in the nearby area...LRAD mounted on the back of a police-truck.

LRAD?  It's a Long Range Acoustic Device (also called an acoustic hailing device or “sound cannon”). It is a specialized, high-powered, highly directional loudspeaker system designed to broadcast clear voice messages or warning tones over long distances.

Usually....it serves two purposes.  The friendly use?  It serves as a ultra-high speaker.  Even from three blocks away....you probably hear a clear message.

The less than friendly use?  The police can turn on a ultra-high tone, and it disorientates you....forcing you to leave the area.

Upon whose orders to deploy it?  Unknown.  Against pro-Tusk folks, or pro-Nawrocki folks?  Unknown.
