The Department of Homeland Security conducted raids on multiple locations across Los Angeles on Friday, clashing with the crowds of people who gathered to protest.

Masked agents were recorded pulling several people out of two LA-area Home Depot stores and the clothing manufacturer Ambient Apparel’s headquarters in LA’s Fashion District. Immigration advocates said the raids also included four other locations, including a doughnut shop.

Bean bag, taser, etc.

So they can still be used as lethal right? I just find it interesting that the guardian said that.

In the past things like rubber bullets and tasers were termed "non-lethal" weapons, but of course people still die from those. The change in terminology is intended to reflect reality.
