Don’t fucking kid yourself they are using lethal force. Using water canons at those temperatures cause hypothermia. Also using so many “non-lethal” stuff in conjunction with each other while they are trapped is TRYING to kill them.
Deadly force is the force that a person used to cause severe injury or death or which they know has a substantial risk of causing severe injury or death,
That is the definition of deadly force I was given while I was in the Navy. What they are doing clearly falls under that.
The police are literally trying to kill the protesters. Think about that.
this is so awful – i don’t want to understand how the people doing this can do this.
