After Los Angeles Street was reopened on 10\/22 the following were recovered
from the street in front of Parker Center (LAPD Headquarter):
<\/p>
spent projectiles:
<\/p>
A. black, grape-sized hard rubber bullets
<\/p>
B. black dense-foam column discs with a hole through the center
<\/p>
C. black, hard-plastic cylinder (closed at the front end & with bull-nosed,
blue-rubber covered end
<\/p>
spent casings:
<\/p>
A. Defense Technologies No. 20F 37\/38mm Multiple Baton Foam Rounds
(silver metal with black lettering)
<\/p>
B. Defense Technologies No. 28B 37\/3mm Stingers
(black plastic with white lettering)
<\/p>
C. Defense Technologies No. 1006 40mm eXact iMpact (silver with black
lettering)
<\/p>
The names \"Multiple Baton\", \"Stinger\" & \"eXact iMpact\" might lead you to
believe these are intended for human targets. However, the \"WARNING\" on 20F
says:
<\/p>
\"Do not fire directly at person(s) as serious injury or death could result\"
<\/p>
The 28B casing reads:
<\/p>
1. Not intended to be fired directly at persons
<\/p>
2. Use only in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, and after
receiving proper training.
<\/p>
3. Misuse could result in serious physical injury or death.
<\/p>
The casings also all state \"To be used only by law enforcement and
corrections personnel trained in riot control tactics\" (No.1006 substitutes
\"military\" for \"corrections\").
