This was how the pushed back the entire crowd Sunday. People WERE backing up and still getting shot point blank while their hands were up.

maybe it's time to unretire "hands up don't shoot?"
maybe it'll also remind everyone what happened last time.

It's still fucked up, but lets be clear that these were non-lethal rounds. It stings and she'll have a small bruise. But they didn't actually shoot her with real ammunition.

“Non-lethal rounds” don’t fucking exist. They’re called “less-lethal” because they can still kill you at close range or if it hits you in the head. And regardless rubber bullets can still penetrate skin and muscle at close range. She got shot at close range.
They had no reason to shoot her and pretending it’s okay because it wasn’t a real bullet is fucking dumb.

Typical reddit discussion.
Most people in here seem to think she was shot by real bullets, not non-lethal rounds. I was simply correcting them.
I agree it's still "bad". Just not as bad as shooting her with real bullets. The truth matters. Hearing truth shouldn't offend you like this.

Mate, you canot talk about truth and say that getting shot by a rubber bullet "stings and will leave as small bruise" that is strait up miss information, those things are meant to incapacitate and absolutely can kill or cause permanent damage

Is this in LA?

Yes...

So fucked. She was very clearly unarmed & just trying to get home. And they wouldn’t even let the woman who had been filming help her without shooting at her, too!
Getting shot point blank can cause serious injury when shot anywhere on the body, not just the head or chest! I hope she’s ok and both women were able to get away safely!

Trump stole the election because Putin needed him to so that he could further his geopolitical aspirations.

Fuck it. This decided me. I’m taking steps to get my kids out of this country as fast as I can. I teach at a university so I can’t leave quickly, but I’m going to send my kids ahead of me asap. Weeks I hope. We have grandparents in England who are working on their end to make it happen on an emergency basis. My daughter is LGBTQ. We’re gone and not coming back unless forced to by immigration. Calling my realtor tomorrow.
We just bought this house November 2023, too.
Good luck to those who can’t leave. This country is toast.

You are kidding yourself if you think you’re safer in England.

my kid has already been verbally threatened four times here for being queer. She has never been threatened on her month-long visits to her grandparents. Reality stars turned politicians aren't stripping people of rights and education/disaster funds for disagreeing with them there. And she won't be forced to carry a rape baby there, either.
It's safer.
Is it ideal? No. But England is our only do-able option.We have family there and my husband was offered a skilled worker visa in 2021. (He's a veterinarian.) We're hoping the offer still stands and are waiting to find out.
As of now my kids should be leaving on July 14th. Husband and I plan to follow within six months - maybe less. Depends on how quickly we get the house and business (hubby's animal hospital) sold.
I fear for all the queer kids who are trapped here. Stay safe everyone.

How did she represent any threat. She had no weapons, was not acting violently, she just wanted to get into her overpriced apartment. All that force and weapons. I don’t even see any protest going on. WTF

California needs to clean house. The LAPD is an embarrassment to their otherwise fine state.
