that one got lots of attention because it was totally unprovoked and aimed at bystanders in their own home, but was far from the worst they also shot live rounds at a car out past curfew, along with tons of less lethals, and linda tirado is currently dying from health struggles initiated by her losing an eye to a baton round (iirc)

a pawn shop owner shot someone too. maybe multiple people?

They also arrested a CNN crew live on air, that was wild but obv way down the totem pole from maiming and killing.

Anoka County deputies fired less-lethal munitions at the car before the National Guard member fired live rounds from his M4 carbine rifle.

“You told me to shoot! He told me to shoot. He said, ‘Shoot!’” the unidentified guard member said.

“It was less lethal, dude,” an Anoka County deputy responded.

Jesus I didn't know the guard was issued ammo.

yep the guard had live weapons. it's a miracle it wasn't another kent state or worse

I also memory-holed this one, or maybe never heard about it:

pigs were just riding around in unmarked vans popping people in the face with less lethals with no warning
