  "To Make Danger Zones Safer"
Dangerous for who? Safer from what or whom? This "safety ball" is there to help one group of people shoot at another group of people, and it's wrong to implicitly state that one group is good and the other evil, simply by virtue that one has this Happy Fun Ball, and the other does not. What if both teams have one? Whose safer now?

I bet this would be just as useful in a home invasion, or whatever, but you know we always have to put the "WE'RE SAVING LIVES" spin on every escalation in the Limited Warfare technological arms race.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.

It makes it safer for the one throwing the ball. Apparently you missed or are ignoring that those people are just as likely to be disaster responders.

Firefighters. Collapsing roofs. One example of hundreds.

Things aren't moral. Everything can be used for good or evil. Things aren't something you should rail against. Humans are the problem.
