    That’s after they let zionist mobs in to attack the encampment for hours with fireworks, mace and batons but that was not enough and they got repelled. So they’re finishing the job themselves with (rubber) bullets.

    This is history in the making. And they chose to be on the wrong side of it.

    Clearly less lethal weapons are needed to stop non-violent protesters from occupying some space to voice opposition to violence.

    /s just in case. Also, rubber bullets are less lethal weapons, as in less likely to kill than bullets.

      I thought you were supposed to aim rubber bullets at the ground, so the force would partially dissipate. There are cops shooting straight out from hip level, which I guess isn’t horrible, but the people shooting straight out from eye level are officially violating a bunch of regulations.

        Yup!

        Too many people think that rubber bullets, tasers, and any alternative to shooting live bullets are non-lethal when they are actually less lethal.

          Tripping on an uneven sidewalk and hitting your head against the pavement can also be lethal. We should do away with paved sidewalks.
