Hockey pads, football pads, roost guards (downhill mountain biking chest protector), and any number of other athletic body armor, padded shirts, helmets, and eye protection would help.
And to think, there are actual dumbass people in the world who think that kind of behavior on the part of police doesn't justify violent revolution, and there are even more idiots out there that believe it.
I feel so fucking bad for those protesters. Can we donate shields?
Unless my memory fails me, the so-called "less than lethal" munitions are never to be fired directly at someone. They're supposed to be shot at the ground so the projectiles hit the target on the rebound. A journalist lost an eye because someone shot her directly in the face.
So are the police declaring an "illegal gathering"? It is my understanding they have to go through specific steps before they can take actions to disperse a crowd.
It’s “less lethal” until they hit a vital organ, or a head shot. When you fire indiscriminately into a crowd, you are going to seriously hurt or kill someone.
I don’t understand why are LAPD, CHP and Sheriff’s department involved? I am genuinely confused. Let people protest peacefully and ICE guard federal buildings.
Coming down to “watch the show.” 🤦♂️
And no, the spectators and bystanders shot by police did not “deserve” that, nor “asked” for it, but JFC people, dress for the job you want, not the job you have.🫤
Hope they all recover, and be SAFE out there people! Life during wartime, in real time.
Stay safe. You can lose an eye with these almost deadly projectiles. Plus police shoots them more often straight at the people because they don’t kill.
I'm of the mind that the majority of men who join law enforcement, do so because they know they will be given a firearm & are protected by law if they point it at a person.
I'm also of the mind that those men, CANNOT WAIT to not only point it, but FIRE IT - REPEATEDLY - at another person.

Iagree with you. There are non-violent ways to carry out civil disobedience. It’s just not about giving an excuse to Trump. Looting of stores in LA for example, does not help our immigrant communities. Navel gazing protesters need to think about the community being targeted.
Stop with this shit. They don’t need an excuse. What they need is about 5 million more troops to make it effective. They know it and they hope you don’t. They are clearly correct.
Don’t be scared of something that does not exist. Don’t go out and be violent just because, but stop the “martial law” nonsense. They can’t back it up. The US has 258 million adults on 3.5 million square miles of land with 2 million military, with cops and proud boys still about 4 million short.
WOW-I bet the National Guard and Marines got there ASAP that day! People busting out windows and shitting on the walls Now THAT'S what a riot looks like.😐 https://youtu.be/L7h49Q98OVs?si=buRAcuVCbbsMuWgH
Since when aren't peaceful protests allowed? Trump's goons have escalated it to terrorize people. You can be damn sure he's watching. Trump likes to cause innocent people pain bc of all the bullying he received as a child.He's never grown up and become an actual decent adult. All revenge every day!
Nah, he doesn't deserve that much explanation. He's a pud and his brain is a box of rocks. This is the behavior of the town idiot when he gets a little power.
Nope. Still not seeing it. Must need to get my eyes checked. Still not seeing the massive riots and looting and mayhem that would rate all these troops being deployed. Anyone else see it?
That is the point from Trump side. Get the enforcers so tired and upset from being in the chaos that they get emotional and start shooting live rounds at brown people. No comfort at all for them, according to Hegseth, will turn them into WAR FIGHTERS! RAWWLL! KILL KILL KILL
In Los Angeles, police officers opened fire, shattering the windows of several businesses indiscriminately. The police created a chaotic scene, escalating the protest to make the demonstrators appear violent and thus deflect blame from their own misconduct.
The right to protest and the right to assemble are part of our rights in the Constitution. It doesn't say you can assemble while being shot repeatedly by rubber bullets and subjected to gases.
Stay peaceful. Don’t take Trumps bait.Move away from agitators.Trump needs to see violent protestors for a WIN.Fly an American flag. Record everything.Be peaceful. Video of LEO shooting at peaceful flag flying citizens will carry a strong message.Don’t get baited into violence. It’s what Trump needs
Street dogs in Chile were part of the protests, but they were not pets. Pictured below are Rucio Capucho (Hooded Donkey) and Negro Matapaco (Black PacoKiller ... Paco is slang for cop). They were revered as heroes and saints. The Chileans know all about out of control dictators (ie: Pinochet).
I wish people would not take their dogs or children to protests. A “less lethal” might be so for an adult human, but can cause far more harm, even death, for a dog or small child.
"Rubber bullets" are not to be shot directly at people, they are designed to be ricocheted off the pavement and hit the person in the leg, making them stop advancing.
Yeah, they are completely fucking untrained both emotionally and instructively on how to handle people standing up for their rights. All of this is due to Trump being "tired of hearing about it".
Thanks for that info, I keep hearing about the skip, maybe it is getting "lost in translation". I wonder if the skip is one way of using them. Yes, the main issue is that they are clearly press and shooting them was not warranted or even needed, typical scared and mean, unstable pigs.
Please don't take your pets to these protests! For the love of them, please don't!
They can be seen as a threat just as you just as a bystander. Plus if something happens to you, your dog is left behind.
STAY SMART, STAY SAFE.
PROTEST IN PEACE!

Non-lethal bullets can absolutely be lethal.
Hits to the face, or head, or ruptured arteries need medical attention in minutes or the victim could bleed out...
We the People need serious counter forces.
Call out the militias.

They're constitutionally protected. There is a reason for that, and you're seeing those reasons right now before your very eyes.

How about a hundred or so of you get together and load up some plastic bags with port-a-potty sludge.
Fly nice and high above these ice agents and National Guard and maybe drop your payloads.
Rain shit!
Might be a good time to invest in their stock.

This will never end until we start shooting back.
Stay safe.

It was armor.
We need to outsmart Trump and diffuse his plans!!!
We'll fight again another day.
And no, the spectators and bystanders shot by police did not “deserve” that, nor “asked” for it, but JFC people, dress for the job you want, not the job you have.🫤

I would also wear a hard hat, motorcycle helmet, or at least a bicycle helmet.

Regardless, they are an absolutely barbaric way to try and control a crowd, and no sane society should tolerate their use.
