It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

"Rubber" bullets are steel bullets coated in rubber.

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

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.

Supposedly how would it be if protesters loaded water balloons with liquid ass and threw it at them?

Liquid ass is too nice for Gestapo

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

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

I think I've seen this before, years ago. But it's also possible this happens regularly in US.

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

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

[-] Jtotheb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Rubber bullets are sold under the legal pretext that they’re acceptable to use in this fashion, while the manufacturer and the police department and probably every lawyer and judge in the country knows they’re just going to shoot at people.
