It’s worse than that. That wasn’t a rubber bullet, that was another tear gas canister–you can see it a few seconds later in the footage when the camera pans over to the advancing cops.
And they shot him in the crotch with it.
If I were feeling charitable I’d say that the cop who fired the shell was aiming for center of mass and miscalculated the distance and hit the guy low.
But I’m not feeling charitable. It’s clear that was a deliberate malicious attack designed to hurt the guy as badly as possible with the weapon at hand. The goal was to cause him pain and intimidate bystanders.
The funny thing is that earlier this year the Australian parliament had a scare with a mysterious white powder. And while all the security was running around trying to close off the area and keep people safe, the head of security just fuCKING LICKED IT. (It was sugar but damn son )
maybe he makes a habit of licking all potential security threats
meanwhile in the US, i had to watch a security training video that explicitly told me to use all of my senses on my patrols… EXCEPT taste
a very serious video with a very serious message that i absolutely must not lick any unknown substances i may find
sounds like your employers were just trying to hog all the exciting mystery flavors for themselves
He is white. Guaranteed he won’t be terminated from his job like he
should be & the female being groped has dark skin so she will be
seen In the wrong because of her skin color. This is sexual harassment on nation tv
people are disgusting
The fact a female is also justifying it, is horrible
What in the actual fuck? Mel B has been through too much to deal with this non sense
Is this what moms are up to on Pinterest these days?

I’m not saying “Don’t do this.”
I would recommend if you do do this you do so out of doors and have fire precautions in place. Potassium Nitrate, aka: Stump Remover is a powerful oxidizer. This means it causes things to rust, or more likely BURN, very very quickly.
It’s also worth mentioning that commercially available Nitrates are tagged with chemical markers that can survive high heat and detonation so they can be later analyzed by law enforcement. Here in the United States we have the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who are notoriously unamused by home-made incendiary devices.
One final note: Potassium Nitrate and other related chemicals are popular with another market: pipe bomb manufacturers. Yeah, this stuff is a precursor to actual explosives that maim and kill people. And I’m sure you don’t need much imagination to understand how dangerous a pipe bomb can be, but just in case I suggest you google pictures of pipe bomb injuries. (No link, y’all are adults and can search that shit yourself.)
In short, this is a very dangerous video and someone IS going to be hurt by it now that it’s in the wild. I can’t really keep that from happening, but maybe we can keep the injuries to a minimum with a little bit of information.
Knowledge is Power. Knowledge is Safety. Keep cool out there, y’all.
