SoCal Matters
CHP Policy on Use of Less-Lethal Rounds UCLA
Season 2024
Episode 13
In CalMatters video, CHP police officers appeared to aim and fire less-lethal munitions at pro-Palestinian protestors while dispersing the crowd at a May 2 demonstration at UCLA. Aiming less-lethal munitions at the head, neck or vital organs is contrary to law enforcement training guidelines, and shooting less-lethal munitions at people merely to disperse them is against California law.
