Oh no, Sunny will have to get some prosthetic eyes with some Cybernetic enhancement and she might probably get some cyber parts to survive through police raids, if she hasn’t get sent to prison or behind bars, which she might Hitch will not be happy to see his friend behind bars for joining an anarchist gang.

Coming back to this after two years, and I just noticed her bullet got reflected, not only that, but straight into a headshot, so yeah, she’s dead. And that also means that the riot gear is impenetrable to anything less than… I dunno. But it’s probably reflecting the shot back with 8KJ of force, I’m not sure what that would be the equivalent of…
and the budget is mightier than the sword
This line really resonates with me…

its call removing a treat to your powerbase, they was a treat to there power because they was working outside the system to fix problem. like the start of it they don’t want people to know each other they want them to fight each other.

what’s more is the cost behind doing all of this, the use of gear, the use of high end stuff to get a so call few bad guys, the mindset of guilty until proven innocent will cost them millions of dollars to do this, then using said millions to help fix the problem.
they would rather waste millions if not billions on rioters or groups which is a threat to its own system than fixing the problem at hand, just like the war on drugs was made to break up civil rights groups that used them because there no cheap way to feel better after being shown nothing but shit in life.
this is a problem that comes with more than just the idea of “cops are being assholes” it’s the system above them that made them like this in the 1st place.
they attacked this gourp because it was a threat to there system that’s why, after all they didn’t find real cules on who did the bombing and no one clam the attack, meant as well put the bleam on them and remove the threat to there power.

There’s a reason why this stuff is now called “less lethal” instead of non-lethal. I remember several years ago there was a protest in Germany against a railway project and the police used water cannons. On poor guy got hit in the face and is now almost completely blind. There was a bit of a public uproar but then – as always – it died down.
Less Leathal is still better than a gun because shooting someone is far more likely to result in death. But Less Leathal can still main and kill and that’s why you only use it against threats and not against the guy who said some rude stuff about your mother. Or at least that’s how it should be.

It is an unfortunate reality of “less lethal” munitions. Years ago I saw the aftermath of what happened when someone wearing a bike helmet was hit in the back of the head with a launcher fired flashbang and CW:gruesome it nearly opened up the back of the guys head

A fan of Hoers art :D
Looking at some of the comments on the main post, I think she did die.
Even though I never added the grimdark/death tags since it’s not obvious in this art in particular compared to the next art in this post.

Oh no Sunny
Well, at least they’re in a setting where replacing eyes should be a thing right?

Pro tip: If you don’t want to be shoot by someone, don’t point a gun at them.
Funny how that can absolutely go both ways, hmmm?

Since we got a Sunny cameo in this story, I like to imagine than Hitch is a cop in this universe, too. So, he’s going to visit her in the holding cell and there’s going to be a very heated discussion and a lot of name calling.

@Wiimeiser
For a start, body armor of that quality is effectively completely immune from handgun rounds.
Second, you are proposing a useless theoretical that reduces this to a math game and disregards the messages and themes of the comic which are, again, the militarization of police and the use of a national tragedy to justify a crackdown on political dissidents.

Which begs the question: Let’s assume there’s four cops and a robot. How many civilians, each armed with a .352 Magnum (the 6-shot handgun from HL2) and nothing more, would it take to overwhelm the four cops and robot mentioned above, assuming everyone was involved simultaneously? More or less than the entire population of Burkina Faso (21 million)?

to be clear when we say the cop’s aren’t using guns that does not make them unarmed. Instead you can see in both this panel and the next that they are in fact so heavily geared that there is effectively no risk to them at all.
All the while the cops are using weaponry that, while technically less lethal, is either banned under international treaty or is known to kill or maim in horrible ways such as the riot phome in the next panel. This is clear commentary on the militarization of IRL police who, apart from the robot, the magic grenade or the force field, effectively have all of this gear available to them IRL
