"The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. Unrestrained political authority, though it be confided to masses, cannot be trusted without positive limitations, men in bodies being but an aggregation of the passions, weaknesses and interests of men as individuals." ~ James Fenimore Cooper

"More effectively quell violent protests without loss of life"?
So the protests would be even more violent with full metal jackets on those bullets.
Thanks for the confession, you Army goons.
These are meant for us, of course. They obviously don't give a rip about loss of life in other countries. They should make new recruiting videos showing Americans being mowed down with rubber bullets, and then arrested and thrown in the Gulag. Army Proud!
