Here is a homeless man in a wheelchair.
He was not participating in the demonstration. He was just there.
However the LAPD have decided to shoot him in the face with a rubber bullet at close range.
This is not a nice thing to do. This is not what normal police officers do. As one police chief explains:
According to the Trace, the Minneapolis Police Department’s use-of-force policy strongly advises against pointing 40 mm launchers — which are used to deploy rubber bullets, beanbag rounds, and sponge rounds — above a person’s lower extremities. The policy also acknowledges that the projectiles can cause “grievous” injuries, and in some cases, death. Rubber bullets should be used only to control “an extremely dangerous crowd,” Brian Higgins, a former police chief, told Kaiser Health News.
Bonus picture. A 15 girl is sitting on the ground blinded by pepper spray. So a cop casually walks up to her and kicks her in the face.
