DC police shoot a tear gas round directly at a man’s head, barely missing him. The point of tear gas is to be less lethal. Firing it into someone’s face point-blank is attempted murder by . Boston PD killed Victoria Snelgrove this way in 2004.

My friends in the National Guard are concerned that the Rules of Engagement are unclear on what to do if they witness police violating the customary international laws of armed conflict. They have a duty to intervene if they see police aiming rubber bullets at peoples’ heads.

Today, it emerged that the “shots fired” was an officer shooting into the air to disperse the crowd. After learning that all officers had their body cams DISABLED, Mayor Fischer fired the police chief. 12 hours later, McAtee’s body still lay on the ground where he died.
