If you mix ammonia and bleach, and pump balloons full of it, when the balloons pop it releases some bad fumes

Not my face, the other brown people's face!
Only a matter of time before someone shoots back.
You know shits getting real when the cops will shoot at a blonde white girl.
Itβs called flirting. Or maybe he asked her out and she rejected him. It really could go both ways.
Zero justification, not a stray bullet etc, he literally aims and shoots at the camera, what in the fuck is going on over their?
can't have eyes on the situation. it goes away faster the less people see it
It should also be noted that the term "rubber bullet" is exceedingly euphemistic.
So-called 'rubber bullets' are huge and have been known to maim and blind people. These aren't tiny little paintball rounds, folks.
LAPD shot a protester in the head with rubber bullets and refused to call an ambulance for her as she lay there bleeding and concussed; another protester was trampled and concussed by mounted police; countless other protestors were beat over the head savagely with batons... and this is only what was on video.
If I recall correctly, the officer broke article 19 of the UDHR. I have a sneaking suspicion that that officer isn't getting any reprecussions for their actions.
I want to tell all the centrists who acted like leftists were radical, dangerous people for the last 30 years in the US while treating violent, rightwing conservative ideology as if it was innocent and defenseless... to personally eat shit you naive idiots, leftists were trying to warn you about this moment in the US for decades, fucking DECADES and y'all still chose to listen to fascists over learning some basic things about leftist ideology. Even after violent rightwing fascists attempted a literal coup on Jan 6 y'all still wanted to be afraid of leftists more than rightwing mobs actually assaulting the U.S. capitol.
Over the years I have wasted soo soo soooooo much breath talking to older boomer conservatives who believed themselves to be centrists or even democrats, and it was all a damn waste of time, these people have brainworms and admitting they have been living inside a bubble that popped late in their life interferes too much with their ego and sense of impending mortality (have I lived a life and learned worse than nothing about what the future will be????) for them to listen to kindness. Bypass these people and organize with people who understand, leave the naysayers I am criticizing behind and let them catch up once they realize how truly alone they are (with no younger people on their side from the conservative or leftist end of the spectrum).
spits on the authoritarian, rightwing dictatorship at my feet
A good time to remind everybody that while rubber bullets are considered "non-lethal," they can kill.
Back in 2004 a college student in Boston died from a bullet that missed its intended target, hit the ground and ricocheted into her eye.

So, while the shot certainly wasn't warranted, IMO its worse because of what could have happened because this officer was taking a shot for fun.
This wasn't a "stray round." That shot was deliberate and that pig knew exactly what he was aiming at.
People killed by the german police in 2024 (record year): 22 People killed by the police in the united states in 2022: 1176 Well i guess we only have 1/4 of the population so 50 times the number of deaths is normal is to be expected.
Somebody should mirror that video somewhere that isn't a nazi platform.
I think the provocation was her reporting facts. Can't have that when most voters have chosen Trump.
