Rubber bullets are supposed to be aimed at the ground, but we've seen (pun sadly intended) plenty of officers aiming at faces/eyes of protestors. This can kill, and if it doesn't kill it maims.
They're trained to not maim or kill. More training won't fix it. More money and more resources won't fix that systemic rot.
40%, after all.
