    blunt force trauma to the head is deadly.

    so throwing a rock or one of those bricks that the feds leave at riots and protests for bait is technically deadly force

      So “less-lethal” projectiles like metal balls thinly coated with rubber being SHOT at the heads of peaceful protestors is technically deadly force as well. Only it’s not. Technically.

        peaceful protestors

        assaulting police officers and blocking traffic in the roads isn’t a peaceful protest. Looting and rioting isn’t a peaceful protest either.

        Haven’t you seen the body cam videos at those gatherings?
