It is likely nearly all of those who were injured will lose their eye or have some degree of permanent vision loss, said George A. Williams, a retinal specialist and member of the board of trustees of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
The group...Should ban tear gas as well! It’s a prohibited and banned as a war weapon but k to use on civilians?
Being in a protest that turns violent,,,leave the protest
Yes rubber bullets my a** any projectile can maim or seriously injure
Keep it peaceful then they won't be used.
Rubber bullets are dangerous. Use the copper coated lead ones instead.
Real bullets are better.
How about a rock or frozen bottle of water hitting your head? Can you fix that?
Maybe quit throwing Molotov cocktails at police?
'An Indonesian journalist hit in the face by a rubber bullet during protests in Hong Kong has been permanently blinded in one eye' This is a tragedy caused by police brutality in Hong Kong. Rubber bullets should be banned. StandWithHongKong
How many houses were set on fire, stores looted? And, how many store owners were beaten?
There is a such an easy way to avoid putting yourself in this position.
Fuck no
Back to the real thing, then.
Bobbies not rubber bullets. Bullets are bullets. Bullies use bullets. Police serve and protect.
I'm sure the rifle they use doesn't point itself.. They're actually aiming at your head..
220 YEARS OF DOW/GOLD RATIO
We believe the rioters- are quite correct. Rubber projectiles should absolutely be banned. I hear 556, 7.62, 9mm, and 45ACP, work quite well And we promise... the terrorists will LOVE them.
Or ban violent protest
The chances of hitting someone in the eye is almost zero unless you are deliberately aiming to blind someone, there is little excuse
No! You throw a stone, molotov cocktail, explosive, bottle, vandalize, loot, assault etc violent behavior you will be stopped! Totally acceptable and expected behavior!
How about banning violent protests? Problem solved.
Europeans use water cannons.
Water Cannons
CopsAreTheBest 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Real ones cause much more damage - you can look it up
Should have stayed home. Lucky to be alive.
The Use Of RubberBullets Should Be Ban. An Alternative Form Of Quelling Riotous Protests Needs Be Deviced. SafeTheEyeBall.
zero chances of getting shot by a rubber bullet if you stay the fick out of riots!
Let’s ban rubber bullets!!! Real bullets work better. The riot and looting will stop real quick. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
Use real bullets
Juat give the cops bubbles. Maybe nerf guns for the really aggressive looters, arsonist, and assaulters. Maybe just make a rule against shooting peaceful protesters instead or is that too much to ask?
Who is the idiot that said rubber bullets won’t damage anything?
So what? Don’t hang with people committing crimes and you’ll be fine.
Brings BACK bad memories of UK using rubber bullets against OUTLAWED REPUBLICAN ARMY in IRELAND - 1970's - NEVER should have been there - UK =TERRORISTS
Try fixing an eye after hitting it with a 9MM
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Don't Go To A Riot!
Time for police to taste their own rubber.
Give it 5 years, weaponized drones will very accurately take out folks during unrest while videoing each “engagement”. going to be interesting to read how folks will be feeling about “freedom and such” then..every action creates a reaction and as a society the noose just tightens
rubber bullets are illegal in war but are used by police against their own people paid by tax payer money
...and in come the bootlickers.
Yikes... I just winced hard!
Hi, I'm from the theater department in Navarro College (from Netflix's Cheer). I'm trying to contact some reporters and journalist about some issues in my community do I can help spread awareness for all communities.
Outrageous to use these weapons on fellow Americans.
If you protest lawfully and don’t riot and loot you probably don’t have to worry. There are consequences to unlawful protesting, rioting and looting.
Rubber bullets would not have been used if the protests had been peaceful and not evolved into riots. What you don't report is that over 800 police have been hurt or killed in the last few weeks. Afraid of not reporting it because BLM wouldn't like it?
You’re gonna put your eye out, kid...
Throwing a rock would do the same. If your not involved in a violent protest or riot no need to worry about rubber bullets. Non lethal doesn’t equal no injuries.
Fire the rubber bullets from the hip. Don't even be concerned about the grapes.
THEN DON'T BE IN A RIOT.
