They call it “less-lethal” — but civilians are leaving with cracked skulls, broken arms, and internal bleeding that doesn’t just disappear.

People are being hit in the head, losing vision, collapsing in the street — injuries that last long after the moment is over.

That’s not safety. That’s not control. That’s violence repackaged with a softer label.

“Less-lethal” doesn’t mean less harm.

They are NOT taking appropriate measures to de-escalate, they are escalating the situations and causing unnecessary injury, and sometimes death, to people simply protesting without violence.

Exactly — what we’re seeing is escalation that leaves people seriously hurt.

These “less-lethal” weapons are known to cause skull fractures, permanent blindness, internal damage, and even death — especially when used the way they’re being used here.
