    Hundreds have been permanently blinded.

    Just think about how that could even happen. You put any of us in their shoes, we would obviously aim low, to prevent permanent damage.

    It’s like police are overgrown toddlers, mad that they’re forced to use less lethal rounds… So they take it out on civilians and aim for the face. Can you imagine being as hate-filled as these fucking orcs that you would want to blind the people you “serve” for the rest of their lives (if you don’t kill them)!? Absolute monsters…

      ‘Quantified immunity’ is unique to the USA. Never should have been made law and it should surprise no-one that it came about during push-back to the civil rights movement. It enables all of this bullshit by making police behaviour untouchable.

        Qualified.

        … I’m not sure what quantified immunity would look like.
