Witnesses said that officers fired rubber pellets directly at the crowd without warning.

And sooner or later, a squat-looking barrel would be raised and a shower of 40mm rubber pellets would be fired.

Rubber pellets sprayed up all the time, the ball did not bounce right and none of the players seemed confident with their footing.

Those tiny little rubber pellets they sprinkle over the synthetic grass get everywhere: in your boots, your shorts, your pants.

Low-power rounds, such as less-lethal rubber pellets, must be cycled manually.
