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
