Can Rubber Bullets Kill You?
Some quick excerpts from the article:
"Just like real deal bullet, the potential danger of baton rounds also depends on how they’re fired."
"Despite this evidence of rubber bullet-inflicted injuries and fatalities, the U.S. Department of Defense includes rubber bullets in its arsenal of nonlethal weaponry…"
"[The U.S. Department of Defense] even looked into developing rubber bullets for use in rapid-fire machine guns earlier this year."

I have shot several types of shot gun rounds in my life. RULE number 1# any round even a blank round if miss used can kill you….
I would have to see some very definitive proof that officers were in harm's way from protesters to even begin to consider that firing anything in any way, shape, or form, was justifiable. Retreat is always an option over violence. I mean, really, are the protesters going to overrun the police trenches and kill their women and children? Really? C'mon!?

And as the Oakland Police Department demonstrated, shooting people in the head with tear gas canisters can cause life threatening injuries too, especially when you follow it up with a flash-bang grenade to the face.
Disgusting.
