I have no proof, but one person claimed police were confiscating the remnants. True?
horrific
Even accepting the evidence submitted, what's shown in the pictures would not be considered a "rubber bullet" and the "flash bang" is very clearly labeled "CS" (i.e., pepper).
In what way is the rubber bullet in the palm of his hand not to be considered a "rubber bullet"?

It's all fun and games until it gets out of control.
Yes, the police have the upper hand. They're armed and allowed to use unbridled force to subdue anyone.
But numbers can and do overcome this. The people in this movement are just not at that point yet.
I wouldn't go out of my way to provoke it.
