It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

Do they think they are using paintball guns? What's going on?

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's not like paintball doesn't hurt a lot from this range either...

Have you seen the damage caused by their bullets? It's like using frozen paintballs, at the high end of allowed PSI, but the size of a golf ball. LA civilians rn are under hostile armed force. They need an armed* resistance to take out the members of the police that do not act as police. They do not get punished. They just get deployed again.

*I know this is difficult. Non lethal weapons are harder to obtain than lethals, and the moment the resistance use lead is the moment the invading army do too.

Psychopaths want to bully and hurt people (especially "the libs" protesting), and there's no consequences for them.

"rubber" bullets are supposed to be bounced off the ground to dissipate their energy before they impact someone

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That is for 37mm foam that splits on the ground to spread at the crowd, they are primarily using 40mm foam rounds with a metal core, if you bounce it off the ground it can rotate and impact with the hard plastic backing, which is likely how the UK journalist who required calf surgery was injured. It's specifically recommended not to bounce them but to aim near the naval, arms or legs.

I used to live right by the un and my block was always closed 2ce a year. Security wouldn’t let me in to get home and I had to call the doorman to come and vouch for me. No one shot me but they were dicks.

Used to be only black people being treated like this. Now we have equality!

Wouldn’t be a shame if those Nazis got shot in the face with a hot turd.

I better hear something from every other police force in the country if they don't want this as proof ACAB.

It's about Florida

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

others already said this but it's so crazy that they're called rubber bullets when they are like 40mm artillery rounds

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

[–] ramenbelly@lemmy.zip 13 points 4 days ago
