I legit had to check to see if this was the Onion when I read the headline.

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 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.
