    I’ve seen two separate videos posted about 30 times all over the internet. There was one where a cop shot a woman point blank with the “less than” lethal round and she went limp and unconscious. I’ve been trying to find more information on it because I’m extremely worried for her. She was just trying to get out of the road and got trampled by horses like that other guy and you can see one of the cops quickly point his gun at her and shoot her in the head from 2 feet away.

      That’s what the article is about.

      This is the only news coverage I’ve seen of it, and most of America doesn’t even seem to know about it

      They shouldn’t be allowed to use less than lethal rounds. I’d prefer no armed police, but the less than lethal aspect especially makes them emboldened to shoot without any consideration. What goes through someone’s head when they shoot a person who made the mistake of falling down? “easy target”?

      That woman might be lucky if she survives, and without brain damage, and it really turns my stomach that they didn’t have the decency to call for an ambulance
