In my city we have seen several peaceful protesters (some quite some distance away from police) be nearly killed by less lethal ammunition. Being hit in the head or neck by a rubber bullet will drop a person to the ground unconscious instantly. This means they can even hit their head again against pavement. Nobody has died yet, but they are clearly extremely dangerous.

We have also seen the use of tear gas. I don't want the police to hurt anyone, but I haven't seen any long term damage from its use.

If police are going to use force, from what I have seen, tear gas is less dangerous. It is still awful. I'd rather it not be used, but I just wanted to share what I've seen.

17 people were killed in Northern Ireland during the Troubles by "rubber bullets" so they are quite capable of killing people:

What do you think the appropriate civil order methodology alternative for attacking police officer's should be?

Your statement is implying that the overuse of force is only in retaliation to attacking cops - have you not seen the dozens of videos over the last few days of people being shot at or gassed for protesting peacefully? Or being rammed into with cars?
