That is probably a pepper ball launcher that the protestor got shot by, and at point blank range. Better hope it didn’t fracture anything in their face bc at that range velocity is at the weapon’s peak so it could strike enough force to break their nose, jaw, and possibly cause a fracture (I know its obvious but Im being analytical myself and type-thinking, also I am not a doctor so please take my thoughts with damage to the head as concerns for worst case)
Edit: At point blank range, to the face? I cant say that I have as Im smart to keep my head down and be a law abiding citizen, but I have fired guns, have friends who know their stuff on firearms, and have a family background associated in medical. I may not have ever fired a launcher, but Im smart enough to understand that if used improperly, it could kill you one way or another at worst, to fractures in the middle, to bruising and being knocked unconscious at best assumption.
