It was a “rubber” bullet, but still.
These cops are fucking scum and anybody who wears the LAPD badge should feel ashamed to be associated with them.
In 1992, LA had riots sparked by police brutality. Since then, the LAPD has striven to uphold the utmost standards in police work . . . lol, no, they made sure ACAB applies double to them.
Bastard should be fired
Jailed
There must be real consequences. We need leadership that actually has the balls to deal with this sort of trash.
/and no, I’m not holding my breath or expecting anything to actually happen
Deed we do. Next election cycle will tell the tail
at
He’ll probably get a promotion
Firing is a promotion sorta
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
Punk-ass cowards. Trigger-happy pigs. Death to them all.
These people want access to more ex military gear they can’t even do words
others already said this but it’s so crazy that they’re called rubber bullets when they are like 40mm artillery rounds
Pigs.
These people are not working for justice, they criminals
No. When they do it, it’s legal.
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.
Manufacturers of “less lethal” rubber rounds do not consider them safe at that range. They’re considered very dangerous with a high risk of death within about 10 meters.
That’s a seriously injured, unarmed, citizen and not only do they not lift a finger to help they seem to fire at the woman trying to help her.
You’re also supposed to bounce them off the ground. Never a direct hit.
I think you’re thinking of tear gas rounds. Trying to bounce rubber bullets sounds less predictable. But yeah, don’t shoot this close, especially not at a peaceful citizen.
Nah, it’s the non lethal rounds they fire, but it sounds like there are newer ones as well that can be fired directly.
Originally, they were intended to be bounced off the ground when the British designed them.
Looks like LAPD now use some that are intended to be bounced off the ground, and some that are meant to be fired directly at the target.

In fact, the LAPD does not use rubber bullets, the department told Reuters.
Instead, the LAPD uses foam rounds, a condensed sponge projectile that resembles a hard Nerf ball.
One version, which has a plastic body with a hard foam nose, is fired from a 40mm launcher and is usually aimed directly at a target.
A second version, fired from a 37mm launcher, disperses five foam baton rounds toward the ground in front of a hostile crowd once an unlawful assembly has been declared, before bouncing up into the crowd. It is not to be fired directly at individuals, the LAPD said.
However in the past, even with ones that are meant to be targeted at the ground, police have often been found aiming them at people. So I wouldn’t be surprised if/when the LAPD fires the 37mm versions directly at people either.
Wait, so LAPD is armed with nerf guns?
Ah, didn’t know that. Thank you for educating me.
I thought they were all supposed to be at the ground as well, so I learned too!
Wouldn’t be a shame if those Nazis got shot in the face with a hot turd.
With a lead core like those rubber"bullets"
Hit em with the Glock Dookie
Those hot turds of yours… What’s their diameter?
…in Millimeters?
“Rubber” bullets are steel bullets coated in rubber.
And can easily break bones or maim if used incorrectly.
… or fully rubber or wood or foam or kevlar baggies full of lead or any combination of those.
Maybe not every single one of them will shoot an unarmed civilian, but all of them just stood by and did nothing.
Verdict: ACAB.
It would be funny if one of them arrested the shooter on the spot
Nothing unusual…
… for a country like Belarus…
