Apparently, for reals, the LAPD was complaining about being hit by rubber bullets fired by the LA Sheriffs Department during the No Kings protests. And earlier, LASD was gassed by the LAPD because LAPD shot before the sheriffs had their gas masks on.

LASD was furious when LAPD copied their "rubber bullet no-look trickshots into protesters faces" TikToks.
I legit had to check to see if this was the Onion when I read the headline.
Ditto.
I know it's The Onion but... If the target (and all obstacles if ricocheting the bullets off things) is just a target and not actually a person, that actually sounds pretty dope.
The LAPD and LASD are a collection of gangs with a commission from the city of LA.
Kill the police.
It's actually more about having a competent law enforcement system. The manner of American police is arguably on par with, if not indistinguishable from warlord countries in Africa.
Tell us more about what formerly fascist state you think does it right
Japan and Germany to begin with, I think? Although I don't quite follow how your question relates to my statement.
