Texas bill ensures zero consequences for police who injure people with 'less lethal' rounds.
State Sen. Drew Springer, R-Muenster, who authored the bill that would remove consequences for officers who misuse"less lethal" roundshas been preparing to try 19 Austin police officers on felony assault charges for shooting protesters in the head with"beanbag" rounds during theprotests of May 30-31, 2020. Now, a bill that would wreck the prosecutions is moving quickly in the Texas Senate.
Others pointed out that the bill is very broad. In addition to modified shotguns,"less lethal projectile devices" would presumably include Tasers, used by police throughout the state, and grenade launchers, which fire hard rubber balls. Each can kill or blind a person.
