The Los Angeles Police Department apparently was threatened by a homeless man in a wheelchair. He was not part of any protest. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
16 armed police, in riot gear, were threatened enough by this man to shoot him in the face with rubber bullets. See this post for graphics on what a rubber bullet in the face does – if it misses your eye. You can see in the picture the blood streaming from his face.
They could not walk up to the man and talk to him? One of them could not push him away to safety?
They had to shoot him?
I could be this man. You could. The thugs in black battle gear, paid by the public, have license to hurt, maim, and kill.
I think we need protests!
It looks like some of the other officers were trying to stop the shooter.
Yes, I noticed that too. I think they realized what was happening, but it was too late by then.
Or they might have been complimenting on his headshot accuracy? Lord, forbid it.
