    “Less lethal” is some supreme bullshit coming from police that could call their new prole suppression weapon a <insert a slur of your choosing> Butcher 5000K and still never face consequences for recklessly firing it into a crowd.

    They’re dabbing on us with this bullshit.

      Less lethal if used properly. They’re supposed to bounce those rubber bullets. How are they even supposed to do that in a real life situation? This isn’t billiards.

        They’re meant to be shot at the ground into a crowd of people, which seems feasible since accuracy by volume is obviously the intention. I’ve literally never seen it deployed that way though.
