It is never a good idea to point a play device of any kind at a law enforcement officer and pretend it is a gun. This protestor is very lucky to only have been shot with a non-lethal device. Like, he should go home and play the lottery lucky.

His guardian angel is working overtime.
That’s so wrong for them to shoot him in the ear, they should’ve aimed for his face imo.

The Left has emboldened a lot of big dummies.
It's always "a random guy" or someone who was "doing nothing"
