SANTIAGO - Chile’s police chief said on Tuesday he has suspended the use of rubber bullets to quell national unrest after a university study revealed they could be made up of as little as 20% rubber and contain harmful substances such as lead.
He said from now on, as a “prudent” measure the bullets could only be used, along with firearms, “as an extreme measure and exclusively for self-defense, when there is imminent danger of death.” Rozas said a test by the police’s own laboratory was not consistent with the university report, but had “shown differences” with the manufacturer’s technical specifications.
