“Maybe they WANTED to use crowd control pellets.”
Those are plastic or rubber, what was in the photos were plain lead.

My bet is on hard rubber shot used for crowd control shot at closer than recommended range.

But I think that is brown, these are the color of lead.
The plastic ones are yellow or white.

Last I heard, they had lots of cattle in Venezuela.
There shouldn't be any problem with milk and the people shouldn't have to buy it in cans.
Apparently, the citizens of Venezuela are victims of their own rulers, who apparently decided to regulate and restrict production, distribution, packaging and price.
We in the U.S. are headed there if we don't wake up.

Vacuum pack with oxygen absorbers. Can or glass. You might try getting some from your locale LDS cannery/pantry, a good price and well canned.

Russia had elections the whole time the communists were in control, with 98-99% voter turnout. They were so efficient the people didn’t even have to go to the polls.

If it’s really in a can, it could be evaporated milk.

And here I thought only Pennsylvania did all that to a gallon of milk.
To: lowbridge
A country where the laws/regulations make it impossible to even produce toilet paper while imported toilet paper is selling for big bucks.

We've seen it happen in other places, but apparently don't care when it happens in our city, county, state or nation.

Imagine hanging out for HOURS to buy a can of milk

That's debatable. It depends on the supplier for the Venezuelan authorities plus the shot is covered in blood and bodily fluids so brown or black would be hard to determine unless you actually saw it in person. Judging from the size and condition of the wounds I really doubt lead as that would tear open the victim and there wouldn't be pics of people staring back with large circular objects lodged in their face or body.

The State Government has been dictating the retail price of milk in Pennsylvania since 1934!
There are stories of people who have been pulled over and had their vehicles impounded for bringing in cheaper bootleg milk from Ohio.
To: marron
The communists transformed Venezuela into a country where you have to fight over milk and toilet paper. True.
By South American standards Venezuela was once a fairly well off country thanks to their oil and natural gas production.

If only their government could spread it out just a little better.
