The AFP news agency, citing a police union source, reported that the student appeared to have picked up a sting-ball grenade fired by riot police, which exploded in his hand.
Wait they use “non-lethal” grenades that have explosive charge after launching. So the “grenade” is for real grenade, but hey they changed the metal shrapnel jacket to sting balls
This was event just waiting to happen. That weapon shouldn’t be in the use in the first place
It’s insane, and there are still people defending this bullshit, even blaming the victim. Along the lines of “Why would you pick up something the police shot at you? That’s your own fault!”. Completely ignoring the fact that the police shot an explosive at schoolkids.
Single sentence horror story?

I blame the police, but I would also suggest not picking up grenades.
The officer will be awarded by Mr president himself
