A reporter at my previous workplace, KPCC, was shot in the neck with a rubber bullet on Saturday.

It's unfortunate that it's gotten to this point for people to take police brutality at least somewhat seriously.

I'm mistaken for being pro-police and anti-BLM merely because I'm against the looting and rioting. I've always had the stance that the police in their current form are state-sanctioned street gangs.

Rubber bullets are suppose to be used below the waist. They can easily kill or maim someone with a head or neck hit. Whoever shot him was attempting to kill or severely injure the journalist.
