'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert commented on the use of rubber bullets by law enforcement at some protests, calling them 'more bullet than rubber,' adding that they 'maim, blind and even kill.'

"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert is weighing in on the treatment of peaceful protestors at nationwide demonstrations against police brutality and systematic racism.

Colbert commented on the use of rubber bullets by law enforcement at some of these events, calling them"more bullet than rubber," adding that they"maim, blind and even kill." "That's why law enforcement doesn't call them 'non-lethal,'" said Colbert."They call them 'less-lethal' ammunition. Less-Lethal Ammunition, from the makers of Arsenic Lite! Most of the poison, none of the guilt," he said.

So do bricks , bottles , cement blocks and M80’s

Stephen what’s funny is you don’t understand or want to understand the difference between protest and looting and burning etc.... Why have you still not called out the burning of Churches in DC? Guess it does not fit your narrative.

Are YOU KIDDING ME? Secret service were SPIT ON, Antagonized, Cement thrown at them. There r burning churches&bldgs, beating business owners, assault and murder POLICE, LOOTING-INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION-and MSM talks about RUBBER BULLETS? WE SEE IT! Lies!

So...just like 'real' bullets?

Then don't attend your local riot & looting spree. It's just that simple.

Cops do not care about public sentiment. Caring is not part of their 'job description'.

So? Dont put yourself in that position. Its pretty simple......

No not the same some peaceful protester shot a retired cop in the back of the head with a real bullet.

You don blue and get on front line you worthless clown.

Stephen Colbert,,LOL what a wierdo. Democrats are in mourning. Despite the best efforts of Democrats (never very good) the American people are resilient and will overcome the yoke of Democrat policy.

Play stupid game, win stupid prize. Don’t riot or loot

What crime does this elderly commit Does the police have the right to use violence with him?

colbert is maim, and blind

Sounds like an awesome comedy show 👍🏻

Colbert has taken a freakin nose dive since going on CBS. Bigger pay check coming at the cost of being completely neutered.
