:amerikkka-clap: jesus fuck just stop murdering people how is it that hard
Two officers fired a 40mm device that shoots non-lethal projectiles
Does this "device" have a name?
40 mm device
Can't wait for the next evolution of the 'officer involved shooting' headline. Probably something like
Accidental discharge of piston driven device leads to one wounded, officer involved
Accidental discharge of pistol driven device leads to projectile contact, officer involved.
Person dead after law enforcement device accidentally discharges
Every day it seems like. Of course the press release makes it more about those big, bad protesters more than about a person being murdered. Fuck Ted Wheeler and fuck 12
spooky people in black chanting and clanging. black, the color of death.
Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis told reporters that a white man in his 30s was shot and killed by police, who opened fire with a gun and weapons that fire non-lethal projectiles.
"killed by non-lethal projectiles" is a new one
Eyewitness said they shot him in the back for walking (not running) away. Burning the police union building was not enough.

"We're sorry we couldn't respond to your call, have you considered blaming the uppity folks that keep protesting our murder spree?"
