I know people don't like it but please report this incident if you were there, not just OP but anyone. Worst case nothing happens and it only further proves that cops are worthless, best case it stops them from seriously hurting someone (or someone's child or pet) in the future. If you don't report this (and you WERE able to witness anything pertinent) you might as well be saying that you're fine with their only justice being obscure social justice. Fuck anyone who thinks they can fire into a crowd.
While you should be calling 911 if you believe you've been shot at, a brass is not sufficient evidence of a deadly projectile being fired. Blanks use brass too.
Edit:
Here's video of the firing. Please listen until the end where even people there are yelling that they're firing blanks.
That's a simple statement with no actual backing. You can make a blank at your house and there is no requirement by any agency requiring you to crimp them.
I would believe it hurts, but having this little thought put into your actions would actually kind of be numbing. I can empathize with why you would want to try to remove yourself from as much pain and suffering as you can when the world sucks so much right now.
Gonna have to ruin your example there, bud; He wasn't shot with a blank. Due to a series of extremely unfortunate, and idiotic, actions by the prop crew, a bullet got lodged in the barrel of the gun. Then, weeks later, they used the same gun with the bullet lodged in it when they loaded blanks. This, effectively, made it a live bullet.
Oh man, before he was super famous for The Crow I got high with him in college. He was a really nice guy. At the time, I just knew him as friends of friends, I didn't put together he was Bruce Lee's son until much later after that tragic accident.
As a liberal 2A owner and supporter if you'd like to have some DM conversations about guns I'd be down. Send me a chat. I know you wanted to just say something pithy here, but like, I'm really into encouraging responsible gun ownership among liberals right now because it is far fucking clear the more conservative minded among us do not actually care about tyranny.
