Trump’s #Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” #Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming #Protesters

Since President Donald #Trump ’s admin launched high-intensity immigration sweeps this year, federal agents have routinely countered protestors using crowd control weapons — #RubberBullets , flash-bang grenades, #TearGas and #PepperBalls. They’ve fired on American #citizens and noncitizens alike in ways that some experts say might be criminal.

What kinds of less-lethal weapons have #ICE agents been using in the #Chicago area?

#TearGas, #RubberBullets and #PepperBalls have played a key role in agents’ attempts to quell protests — but what are they, and what can they do?

This stock market high is insane and unsafe, people need to figure out if they want to allow people to profit while the constitution is disassembled, about allowing even more of this, and if they want to get hit by #rubberbullets from #TrumpThreatensAmericansWithViolence or plan for a #GeneralStrike or Trump will continue to flirt with making himself the head of the fourth Reich instead of facing justice for #releasetheepsteinfiles

Excerpt: “The key really no matter where you are or what you’re doing is situational awareness,” said Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel to the National Press Photographers Association. “When you start to see officers on bikes encircling you, you need to have probably thought of this before, but certainly at that point, look for a place to exit.”

The fight has already started.

Unfortunately, waving signs & singing ‘We shall overcome’ aren’t a match for #teargas & #rubberbullets #USPol #TrumpDictatorship #auspol

A study published in 2017 found that 3% of people hit by #rubberbullets #died of the injury. 15% of the 1,984 people studied were #permanently #injured by the rubber bullets.

Rubber bullets should be used only to control “an extremely dangerous crowd,” said Brian Higgins, a former police chief of Bergen County, New Jersey.

“Shooting them into open crowds is reckless & dangerous,” said Dr. Lazzaro, a professor & expert in eye trauma at NYU Langone Health #USPol #auspol
