It was a rubber coated metal bullet fired at close range.

You do not shoot someone unless you want them dead.

Shit, as prior military we were taught you don't point your weapon at anything or anyone unless you're prepared to pull the trigger. The fact that all the others on that line had their weapons down, but this dude has his up the whole time, tells you all you need to know about the lack of training of that individual.

Lack of training

On the contrary, these pigs are doing exactly what the people in power want them to.
