Police departments across the country have come under fire for their handling of what were largely peaceful protests in the wake of George Floyd's death, which were, in part, against police brutality. In some cases, officials are now investigating alleged officer misconduct.
Yet for one man who says he was permanently blinded in his left eye after rubber bullets were allegedly shot at him, the internal investigations are not enough.
"They're treating us like we're attacking the country, when they're really attacking us as citizens," Jax Feldmann, a 21-year-old Denver resident, told ABC News.

Yea, and Jeffrey Dahmer said it was his breakfast's fault he got indigestion. I think this dude is just trolling for a multi-million dollar payout. An eye for an eye is passé. Now it's an eye for a million shekels.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it!
DeleteNext time you protest I will gladly substitute a 7.62mm Lobotomy instead of a nice rubber bullet.
ReplyDeleteIMHO that's the only true cure for moonbattery.
DeleteAs soon as I saw how freely the police were using their new toys of rubber bullets and pepper balls so freely, I knew they'd be in for some trouble. Those have a lot higher risk than sprays...like hitting people in the eye (note that permanently injuring or damaging an eye constitutes "serious bodily harm" which is a legal justification for use of lethal force to defend yourself). Add into that how freely they were launching those things around (including during live TV broadcasts), I expect some new rules of engagement to come out, and a reverting back to sprays in the near future.
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when you riot, loot, and burn other people's property!
DeleteI am a Free Citizen. I don't care what you shoot at me. I WILL return fire. Try me.
