If officers don't have enough training to NOT even AIM a rubber bullet at a person they need removed immediately. Seems like the kind of thing they would/should be told after being handed the weapon.
Maybe that's just me.
That is one of the concerns of current police reform.
There appear to be quite a number of people attracted to police work who are not really fit for it.
PS I would not need "training" to know you don't point any riot control weapon at a child or at someone in a wheelchair.
No one who "needs" that training should be in the pool at all.
