Comment on Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person?

When you don’t intend to kill rubber bullets are still very dangerous.

If you have to kill (armed and attacking) they are not dangerous enough.

Then you have the issue of less than lethal weapons having a much lower threshold for when they are used and then accidentally killing or maiming someone.
