Let's hope it was a rubber bullet ... which, while generally non-lethal, still travel at a good speed ... because then it might have shattered his cheek bone or eye socket. F**k around and find out, asshole.
Now, the Left and Democrats will say that the Los Angeles riots are getting violent.
Independent journalist Aldo Buttazzoni was on the ground in Los Angeles, embedded with rioters who were chanting “Peaceful protest!” while their buddies were dropping fireworks from the rooftops on police officers.
Aldo (@AldoButtazzoni) ~ Chants of “Peaceful Protest!” ring out as demonstrators on the roof drop fireworks on police. This prompted officers to return fire, striking one of the men in the face with a crowd control munition.
I was also hit with what I believe is a pepper ball and something made of glass exploded overhead.

A lot of the videos coming out of Los Angeles, which Mad Maxine Waters told you not to believe, are infuriating, but there are some feel-good clips mixed in among them. Take, for example, this shot of one of the rooftop rioters catching a rubber bullet in the face.

We can't confirm that it was a rubber bullet. Taking a lesson from Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, the police might have been firing foam earplugs.
MILO (@Nero) ~ Oh, that’s a shame.
Riccardo (@NonCalpestarmi) ~ They need more of this.
Evan Flay (@Evan_Flay) ~ Dude dropped faster than retail theft charges under Gavin Newsom.
Here's an overhead shot from KABC:

This overhead video shot shows that guy go down and stay down. Serves him right.
