There's a distance at which they stop being "less-lethal". At 10 meters/30 feet they're considered extremely dangerous. The "effective range" at which they're generally considered less likely to penetrate is 20 to 30 meters (65 to 100 feet).

These journalists need body armor and helmets if they're going to be that close to American Police. Back in 2011 an Iraq War vet named Scott Olsen was head shot at a distance of a few feet fracturing his skull and when some protestors tried to rescue him they flashbanged the rescue effort. It's extremely unsafe to be that close to these guys.
