The raids are part of a coordinated response across the U.S. after President Donald Trump vowed to instigate mass deportations of undocumented migrants.
Response? Response to what? It looks to me more like a military force invading a city and attacking civilians.
I mean, it's the LAPD that did the shooting here, they would've done that whether Trump called up the national guard or not.
I'm wondering if the LAPD forgot the lesson they learned in 1992
Even if you get filmed beating someone you won't get in trouble? They learned that lesson loud and clear.
There's a reason they're called "less-than-lethal"
It will irreparably alter your life forever, BuT yOu DiDnT dIe ThOuGh!?
That's not what they're called, here's a quote:
At one point, police said protesters near Temple Street and Los Angeles Street in downtown LA began throwing objects at police and police authorized the use of "less lethal munitions" in response.
"Less lethal" admits they're potentially lethal, whereas less-than-lethal pretends they're not. Being shot in the head is one of the ways to increase that potential. The designers' instructions are to always aim towards the ground and let them bounce toward the target. But police routinely shoot directly at people's faces
They legit used to use the term less than lethal, but because so many people have dies, they switched to saying less lethal, which sounds similar but is scarier
good thing the government gets to decide which free speech is ok and which one get shot by hopefully non lethal.
They’re LESS lethal. Eat shit.
