You shouldn't, they're called "less-lethal" for exactly that reason. You can die from one.

Keep that in mind the next time you see them firing to break up a protest.

Arrest them and destroy their equipment. No one will ever know and they can just claim they were being "unruly and disruptive"

Show all your conservative friends and family that Wapo video. If you believe that business owners have the right to not have their daily operation compromised by the government - if you believe in the existence of private property - you can't be on the police's side here.

I don't think you need tinfoil for that one, they called for media to leave and the cameras to be turned off before they launched a cloud of teargas at the protesters.

I was wondering what was the logic behind this. "Please turn off the recording so we can brutalize you harder"? As if anyone's going to turn their recordings off for that poo poo

Oh I know. I consider any projectile put in the air by police heavier or moving faster than a softball thrown at a police ball game to be fully potentially lethal. The fact that someone invented rubber bullets as "Hey, it's a way for cops to shoot at people without killing them", knowing full well that there is nothing that can come out of a gun that is not highly dangerous.

Properly labelled they'd be "Maiming rounds" or something like that.

Michael Brown was the person killed that started all this. "I Am Mike Brown" was a statement of solidarity, not identification.

Well if it helps I did just find out that St. Louis can expect drastically reduced mold spore count in their allergen index tomorrow, but it's still just a little too high for comfort.
Also there's a race riot happening in the streets of the city, so expect backups.
