    SPD says they "attempted de-escalation, including the use of a less-lethal device." Per the scanner, that was a 40 mm foam-tipped round.

    Police assign lethal and less-lethal roles, and they often fire simultaneously or in quick succession in cases like this.

    CW: police violence in Thailand

    Colleagues @humanrightswatch report that #police "used apparently excessive force" to disperse people #protesting the #APEC summit in #Thailand. Police used #batons and #KineticImpactProjectiles to disperse the #protesters, injuring one protester in the eye.

    #LessLethal projectiles should *never* be aimed at the head because of the likelihood of severe, life-changing injuries such as this.

    Thousands around Fenway Park flooded the streets, and the atmosphere shifted from party to melee. People broke windows. They threw garbage cans. They set the streets on fire.

    Boston police declared an "unlawful assembly" and tried to disperse the crowd with smoke rounds deployed from a 40mm launcher.

    One person was dead — shot by police wielding "#lesslethal" pepper ball guns. (2/8)
