    this is fucking bullshit, these ‘less than lethal’ weapons should never be aimed at people this close, and never at the head. fucking bonkers. These suckass temo nazies have zero ROE. They’re trying to incite a violent response to their shit.

      They’re also being disingenuous about less lethal, that’s a 40mm or 1.5" projectile moving like 300fps. Even the sponge rounds are marketed as potentially lethal under 10meters.

      The 40mm Direct Impact® Round will prove most successful for incapacitation when used within their optimal energy range of approximately 5–40 meters, although it may used in situations from 2–50 meters. Extensive testing was done on the Direct Impact® Round to ensure that the round is less-lethal when fired within the optimal energy range and at the large muscle groups of the buttocks, thigh, and knees. These areas provide sufficient pain stimulus, while greatly reducing serious or life-threatening injuries.

      what do you expect when most of them fail the fitness test, most of them cant read, and they all are mired in the hate messaging day and night to view anyone else thats not a straight, white conservative as a non-human enemy invader.
