Thank you @MadhaviDandu and Sheri Weiser for this important paper looking at the impact of rubber bullets. These "less lethal weapons" kill 1 in 33 people who suffer an injury. These are not proper "crowd control." https://t.co/nhJftzct0M #DefundPolice @ch
@AkilahObviously Especially given that medical journals have published studies showing how dangerous they are and actively saying they aren’t appropriate for crowd control https://t.co/9imAZZMS9n

even the use of rubber bullets, which are supposed to aid in crowd control situations when things get out of hand, is heavily criticized based on the scientific studies to date. here’s one from 2017 in the @bmj_latest, including data from 1990-2017. https:
