Rubber bullets have a strong enough impact to stop and injury someone. Seems like a better alternative than killing someone.

Because if someone is attempting to kill you, those rubber bullets likely aren't doing shit. Hell, depending on their adrenaline, real bullets may be ineffective at first, thus allowing your attacker to go through with it.

I would think more than 1 bullet would stop anyone.

Would you think less than one would or just one would, how many more than one, two more or one more?

Normally, the only time an officer should discharge their weapon is when their life or the lives of others are in danger. They're not supposed to discharge firearms just to disable people.

So in theory rubber bullets shouldn't be necessary. In theory.

This, some people who are on drugs or an adrenaline rush will ignore the pain and damage.

For real. There are few things more terrifying than an angry meth head. Nothing will stop them.

Rubber bullets can very easily maim or kill someone. They arent some super safe alternative.

Guns are tools. Each ammo serves different purposes. Rubber bullets are made to nonlethal purposes.

Remember the rioting? Rubber bullets were being used point blank to cause immediate maximum damage on protesters.

why aren't the police arresting the gun cartels? Maybe because they are scared of fighting them with rubber bullets?

Can confirm, I had to deal with meth heads at my old job, I could barely contain them when they have a tweak out

And to think Biden just sold a ton of actual ammunition to another country. Give them the real stuff so they can kill people and kill each other. While we are over here fighting with rubber bullets.

That's not racist at all really. It's more just ridiculous. Although I agree in ways. Although the whole selling it to other countries. It should be destroyed if anything.

My whole feeling on the thing is people haven't moved past bullets or drugs. If a cop is allowed to own a gun so am I imo because we are both citizens and have the same rights. Or vice versa. It's about the same playing field. I wish people could move past that in ways but I also understand why. People lie and so do cops. It would be great if they didn't or even assume that and even if they do and people could deal with the truth.

Why should cops be allowed to do criminal things? Same iwth doctors and the whole system as far as jailing and drugging people and everything else. There are better ways. And sometimes people don't know what they are doing regardless of if they have a certificate or a badge That's just unfortunate. Or lawyers for that matter. Some people are just assholes and that's the reality of it.

Why it's ridiculous we are selling guns to other countries. It's about money. We are weaponizing other people who might not know what they are doing either. There is an opiod epidemic here too and people wonder why.

Just smart. Doctors drug people irresponsibly and then blame the people who abuse it when it's their job to make sure they don't. When a lot of times it's them turning the other cheek. They are cowards. There is no schizophrenia here. Doctors hide behind walls as much as anyone else these days. So do a lot of people. They are cowards. Whatever gets them rich in the short term. That is the sad pathetic truth of a lot of people too.

I don't own a gun is the thing either. I really probably should because i could probably be one of the few people who could stand there with a gun pointed at my head and vice versa longer like this and actually not pull the trigger.
