    Elderly woman shot in the head with a rubber bullet


    In a stable condition.
    Why are the police shooting people in the head with rubber bullets?
    At least two reporters were permanently blinded in the last few days.

    • these aren't standard rubber bullets.
      you have to be really close to have this kinetic impact. they are probably shooting with PVC or with Rubber+Metal core.
