@LiberalNavySeal I am a doc & wondered: what does medical literature say? I was shocked at the findings. The fatality rate is 3% The permanent injury rate is 15% Why? High muzzle velocity “Less Lethal” while true is SO misleading. It should be BANNED

2017 study: Kinetic impact projectiles (KIPs; rubber bullets): 3% of injuries were fatal & 15% resulted in permanent disability. Nearly a 1 in 5 chance of death or perm disability from 'non lethal' rounds. https://t.co/RdMQhHb0CI @BreRVA @thect @Steph

@LorenaSGonzalez And that's a good start. I suggest we also consider abandoning their use in favor of less harmful, but equally or more effective alternatives. These cause far too many deaths and permanent disabilities: https://t.co/LSB5MNozHv

Just read that rubber bullets were invented by the Ministry of Defence for use during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. They often contain a metal core and are known to permanently injure and kill people. https://t.co/Md8My8e1le https://t.co/Nz3MM3K0Xd
I stand with @kapil_sampat @UCSF @aao_ophth to stop #rubberbullets now! Maiming and blinding is not a humane use of crowd control! When out of 1984 reported cases, 300 perm disabled; 53 dead - not acceptable! https://t.co/eUgD45LtkC
