New: CHP isn’t supposed to aim less-lethal munitions at protesters’ heads and fire into crowds. It did at UCLA.

We found at least 25 instances in which officers appeared to aim their weapons at the eye-level of protesters or fired them into crowds.

calmatters.org/justice/2024/0…

Law enforcement officers across the state are trained that these types of munitions “shall not be aimed at the head, neck or any other vital organs,” according to guidelines from California Commission on Peace of Officers and Standards Training.

@CalMatters CHP said some protestors became “assaultive and posed an immediate threat” by “launching objects and weapons”

“some officers used kinetic specialty rounds to protect themselves”

L.A. District Attorney says no cases of assault have been brought to them
