A journalist shot by police during the 2020 Minneapolis unrest following the murder of George Floyd is dying from her injuries, friends say.

Linda Tirado was in Minneapolis from out of state covering the protests and rioting when police shot her in the face with a rubber bullet, also known as a "less-lethal" round. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and was blinded in one eye.

WCCO asked the city whether Tirado's settlement resulted in any changes to the city's use of less-lethal rounds. A spokesperson declined to answer.

I'll save the suspense: this means it didn't change.

Peaceful protesting only works for so long.

What are the four boxes? Soap box, ballot box, bullet box, jury box?

Seems we're running out of options.

Whatever box collects the head under a guillotine.

Oh I'm sure it did change... they are more ready to use them. Killology

Right. They will no longer use less than lethal force. Survivors are more expensive and whiny. The dead cannot speak against you.
