Democracy is crumbling all around you, and you make the decision to give it a lil nudge further off the cliff, but somehow nobody even notices or cares? πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² (lemm.ee)

They shouldn't be allowed to use less than lethal rounds. I'd prefer no armed police, but the less than lethal aspect especially makes them emboldened to shoot without any consideration. What goes through someone's head when they shoot a person who made the mistake of falling down? "easy target"?

That woman might be lucky if she survives, and without brain damage, and it really turns my stomach that they didn't have the decency to call for an ambulance
