LAPD shot my finger with a rubber bullet, I was wearing motorcycle gloves with padding but no armor in the fingers. Just got out of seeing an orthopedist, the bone is badly fractured and I very nearly had to have the tip amputated. If I had no gloves it would have been gone. Please add padded or armored gloves to your safety gear.

Hope you recover quickly, while I agree with some of the comments here, it seems that wearing armoured gloves could be an excuse for the police to shoot first, dodge (not ask) questions later.

Sign of things to come in the US I think, Trump has just deployed 2000 more national guard to LA.

@zleap
They were shooting first regardless of what anyone was wearing
