      No, it doesn’t. You can shoot someone with a water gun.

      And even if it did, rubber bullets are lethal. It’s why youre supposed to shoot them so they bounce off the ground, which this officer didn’t do. This makes them “less-lethal”, which is still lethal.

      And this implies she was just coincidentally hit and the police had no involvement in what could have been a fatal shooting. This kind of passive voice helps the villain.
