Collected visual or media records of citizens hit in the neck or head with less-than-lethal rounds. Taken from news and social media; references are given at the end of each entry.

Less-than-lethal rounds include rigid baton rounds (rubber bullets, "foam rubber" bullets, plastic bullets, and wooden bullets), flexible baton (beanbag or Super-Sock rounds), pepper balls, and tear gas canisters.

Most of the time the wounding projectile is not recovered so identification of the type of projectile should be taken with a grain of salt.

"Ocular trauma" I am using very subjectively; if I see obvious orbital hematoma, hemorrhage of the eye, or reported loss of vision, I classify it as ocular trauma. I am not a medical professional and hold no active medical certification.

Entries in red are entries for which I lack strong supporting documentation or context.

These data are NOT complete and numbers likely underestimate the true number of people with injuries to the head.

Likely ocular trauma?
