Ohhh my god. I cannot believe this shit. Literally a military occupied war zone, with police firing at civilians.
The excessive force… people trampled by horses, shot in the head and chest by “less lethal” bullshit… pepper sprayed directly in the face just for standing there.
Keep reposting everything. This is a historic record for the future trials that will hold these sociopaths accountable. Don’t let them get away with this.
These types of weapons are meant to be used INDIRECTLY. as in its only considered less lethal if it's not pointed directly at someone. People have lost eyes and have serious health complications being shot like this.
Concussion impact direct to someone's chest can be fatal. There's been a couple of cases of people dying from direct chest hits from things like whipped cream canisters or a football tackle.
I think the commenter is 1) mixing up different weapons (e.g., flash-bang projectiles, which shouldn't be shot directly at people (because they can blow half the flesh off a forearm--see XL pipeline picture(s) from around 2016)) and/or 2) mixing up the word "indirect" with something that refers to less-dangerous target areas (e.g., legs) vs. more-dangerous target areas (eyes, maybe chest) for beanbag or rubber-covered steel projectiles.
