I’ll keep repeating this because I think it’s important
Wear safety glasses
Not sunglasses, or shades or prescription glasses
Wear actual industrial rated workers safety glasses.
If you get those shots in your face, you’re going to lose an eye or both eyes. Safety glasses are designed for this kind of stuff and they actually work. It will stop those projectiles from damaging your eyes.
Cops all over the world are known to purposefully shoot people’s faces and heads. After the fact they will just argue that it didn’t happen, it was accidental, it was chaotic, it was dangerous, etc, etc … it won’t matter after the fact if you lose an eye or end up completely blind.
Wear safety glasses, they’re easy to find and easy to use.
Wow, tips formerly shared with each other in Belarus (e.g. this one or how to avoid to get dragged into a random van by a pseudo police) are now also valid in the USA…
Non lethal rounds means that whatever they’re shooting will hurt you but won’t kill you. So the projectile is moving slow enough that safety glasses would actually protect your eyes.
If they are shooting anything stronger then they are using lethal rounds that could go through your skull and no safety glasses can protect you from that.
The thing here is to protect your eyes … they don’t care if they blind you, to them they can say that they didn’t kill you. But I really don’t want to see any young person lose an eye to any of this stupidity.
Wear safety glasses … if you save your eyes, you can go out there and join movements longer and more often. If you lose an eye or go completely blind, you will wonder about everything you did.
I agree … but I think law enforcement use the term ‘non-lethal’ as a bit of public relations and legal wording to make themselves look good.
To me … both ‘non-lethal’ and ‘less-lethal’ mean that they are less likely to kill you … but still have a good risk of killing you if they hit in the right place. But either terminology also means that if the projectile is small enough and fast enough … it would be fast enough to destroy your eye and blind you.
They will block the pepperballs, rubber bullets might break them but most could withstand the hit better than your eyeball. It would lessen the injury from any projectiles they’re currently using, not actual bullets.
If rubber bullets are going through your safety glasses than they are using lethal rounds that can punch through and into your skin and organs. At that point they aren’t using non lethal rubber bullets or pellets, they’re firing regular shotgun rounds at you that can kill you let alone endanger your eyes.
If a bullet or projectile can punch through safety glasses … it can go through your skull.
Even better: safety goggles that seal around the eyes or face to reduce chemical exposure as well as projectile. Not the shitty safety goggles you got in high school chemistry, but things that actually fit & conform to your face.

Safety glasses are bullet proof?

It’s “less lethal,” not “non lethal.” Your point about safety glasses is still a good one though.

Safety glasses are not designed to take a rubber bullet. I don’t know how well it would actually protect you.
If rubber bullets are going through your safety glasses than they are using lethal rounds that can punch through and into your skin and organs. At that point they aren’t using non lethal rubber bullets or pellets, they’re firing regular shotgun rounds at you that can kill you let alone endanger your eyes.
If a bullet or projectile can punch through safety glasses … it can go through your skull.
Look at some wood turning or grinding videos. They are able to stop a peace of a angle grinder disk. They can take the force of a rubber bullet.
Edit: see this video. Wood exploded while turning and is stopped by face shield. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhI_QweQ0M

Good to know, hope to not need it.
Bringing my prescription safety glasses with me on the 14th
Don’t waste the money. Get ones that’ll work over your glasses, and preferably pick up some $10 Zenni glasses.
Never going back prescription safety glasses are so much better.
My work paid for them :)
