    Was it a rubber bullet or a rubber coated steel bullet?

    Because if its the latter, we should charge for attempted murder. Those are lethal bullets.

      Rubber bullets are “less than lethal” ammunition. They can still seriously injure, permanently maim, and even kill. Cops have been known to target eyes and other vulnerable points to increase damage. If that sadism doesn’t horrify and disgust you, you’re not paying attention. So yeah, this should be prosecuted as a blatant attack on an obvious potentially deadly attack on a reporter…
