I was at a protest in DTLA where they were firing them. Some cops were flinching when the rounds were fired. So I’m going with both incompetent and malicious.
You are supposed to aim centre mass with less lethal. Hitting the eye means you are incompetent (unlikely), or malicious (definitely).
Hey, that’s an insult to trained shooters. They are clearly both.
Rubber bullets are supposed to be fired at the ground and bounce up into targets…
Not all of them.
You also aren’t supposed to aim directly at people but bounce them off the ground, IIRC
Not the briefing I got when we got to try them out when I was in the navy.
