in this age of press acquiescence to state propaganda, please remember that rubber coated bullets are ACTUAL bullets, a powder actuated heavy metal projectile with a "rubber" coating to reduce penetrating trauma and fragmentation *only*. in many cases they will have a higher mass than the equivalent "non coated" munition. and mass x speed something something. you ever been hit in the head with a hammer? do you think it would be less violent if the hammer was coated in plastic?
they're not BBs or squash balls
they're designed to maim with *reduced* lethality
they will still ruin your life, or potentially even end it, even if it takes you weeks or months to succumb
and they will be deployed indiscriminately, and used for punishment and compliance, when realistically they should not be used in any situation where a real bullet would not be "justified" anyway. you can't (legally) shoot people for standing around (yet). but... that's what's happening.
