There is this folklore that American cops are trigger happy against protesters, but as far as I can tell the last time police shot demonstrators was the Jackson State killings in 1970.

Also, this is not a fine line, this is an extremely bright line. "Less lethal" munitions kill and maim people, but everyone understands that using live ammunition on demonstrators is not just a difference of degree.
