It was a rubber coated metal bullet fired at close range.

You do not shoot someone unless you want them dead.

That is fucking nuts. If you have 50 police officers you do not need to shoot a woman who is VERY clearly not a fucking threat. Holy shit they treated her like she was carrying

reminder that "non lethal weapons" are actually just "less lethal weapons". rubber bullets, tear gas and tasers absolutely can and have killed people.

No way I could be a cop. If I was standing in line with those guys and saw my coworker shoot a girl close range I'd punch him in the face. This is what people mean when they say ACAB. There's no way a decent person can see a woman get shot like that and not want to help.

Hollywood needs to pump out more REAL cop shows, where they show how cowardly, fat and racists cops are.

Maybe not every single one of them will shoot an unarmed civilian, but all of them just stood by and did nothing.

Verdict: ACAB.

Person who took this video is an actual hero. I don't want to imagine what could have happened to that woman without them.

Also: don't make the mistake of looking at the replies to this on Twitter. I forgot just how bad it was, but nearly every top reply is by verified accounts trying to justify this somehow. It's actually insane to me the complete lack of empathy these people show - past party lines and political differences, isn't this obviously a bad thing that shouldn't have happened?

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.

Well, she might have been an undercover reporter, what choice did they have?

AND THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND OF THE FREEEEEEEEEEEE AND THE HOOOOOOOOOOME OF THEEEEEEEE BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEEEE..........

Remember that part of your anthem America?

I think it's because downtown LA had a curfew. But that's kinda bullshit because where else would this person go if she came home after working a night shift? Sleeping outside would also break curfew

"Rubber" bullets are steel bullets coated in rubber.

Do they think they are using paintball guns? What's going on?

Stories like this are why despise Biden and Obama so much. Both enthusiastically armed the police while pretending to support change and helped give them this sense of invincibility, and both had the power to make real change in policing but cared more about being reelected than doing the right thing.

FUCK LAPD , ITS TIME TO REVOLT

As cop doing these things , how do you sleep at night ? When do you quit ?

Punk-ass cowards. Trigger-happy pigs. Death to them all.

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

US is just North Korea, with internet

These people are not working for justice, they criminals

Nothing unusual....

... for a country like Belarus....

Bastard should be fired
