    If everyone is reading this far down, this person has lost the plot the moment they said rubber bullets are “non-lethal”. To repeat myself, this is blatantly untrue; they’re called “less-lethal ammunitions” because they can still kill you. You can still die if a cop shoots you with a rubber bullet. Stay safe out there everyone.

      Man, why are you even having this argument when you are this ignorant about what these terms mean?

      Do you understand the difference between “lethal” and “non-lethal” in the context of basic crowd control tactics?

      For that matter, do you understand the difference in classification between a “protest” and a “riot”?

      And are you even aware of your rights in either of those scenarios, and what tactics the police are authorized to use?

      Because if you don’t understand these concepts, then you are simply bullshitting your way through this conversation. And at this point, it really seems like that’s the case. If you do understand these concepts and are still making this argument, then you are being completely disingenuous.

      As I said…if you aren’t going to argue in good faith, then what’s the point? You’re just pretending to be stupid, at this point.
