minus-squareFlakesBongler [they/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45·18 days agoThat’s the fun thing, LTL rounds were definitely not made to be ricocheted off the ground That’s what the Pigs say, gives them the excuse of single officers not doing it right, that they just need more money The rounds were made specifically to inflict crippling injuries, everything that they said otherwise came after they were criticized
