Comment on Protest photographer loses part of ear after being shot by rubber bullet

A stone with a decent speed and weight can kill you. And I don’t think I have to elaborate what broken glass flying around can do to your skin/eyes etc.

They have shields, visors, and helmets mate. They’re not under trebuchet fire, it’s gonna be a handful of people throwing small objects. Chemical weapons are indiscriminate torture devices.
Cops are organised, trained and in radio contact. They can do stuff like retreat and encircle.
