U.S. police are using ‘non-lethal’ weapons that can seriously injure, disable or even kill the peaceful protesters and members of the press out on the streets
Protesters in Columbus, Ohio reported having been shot with wooden bullets by police forces. Images online showed wooden dowel-shaped rods sliced into small, bullet-sized projectiles. The Columbus Police Department confirmed they used those devices against protesters on May 30 and said they are known as “knee knockers.”Protesters have reported police using sting-ball grenades, which upon explosion spray the surrounding area with rubber pellets.
Constructed like a conventional grenade, they are thrown into crowds. The bright flash and the loud bang can cause temporary blindness, temporary loss of hearing and loss of balance. Parts of the device can burst and fly as shrapnel.Many protesters and organizers have voiced the need to transform outrage over Floyd’s death into a renewed civil rights movement and to seek reforms to America’s criminal justice system.
Terrence Floyd, the brother of George Floyd, joined an outdoor memorial in Brooklyn where many in the crowd knelt in a symbol of protest and chanted, “No justice, no peace.” He urged the crowd to continue to seek justice but to avoid violence, saying, “My brother wasn’t about that.”Law enforcement officers take position during a protest against the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
