It was a "rubber" bullet, but still.

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

Verdict: ACAB.

These cops are fucking scum and anybody who wears the LAPD badge should feel ashamed to be associated with them.

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.

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

Obviously Hamas

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.

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

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

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 60 points 6 days ago (1 children)

She was a local resident trying to get to her home

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that's what I'm saying. These fucking pigs that don't even deserve to be on the same level of pigs

[–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 32 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Real pigs are capable of empathy, unlike these fascist bastards

"Rubber" bullets are steel bullets coated in rubber.

[–] glitch1985@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago

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.

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

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.

Wouldn’t be a shame if those Nazis got shot in the face with a hot turd.

others already said this but it's so crazy that they're called rubber bullets when they are like 40mm artillery rounds

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 9 points 6 days ago

These people want access to more ex military gear they can't even do words
