From an acquaintance in Portland, Chris Lowe, "Our police chief used to be high up in LAPD, is a candidate to be their new chief there, thinks police should be military, and was part of a right-wing Christian fundamentalist caucus within LAPD in which he made some nasty homophobic remarks that still circulate on tape -- rubber bullets are entirely within the realm of possibility.

And, nope, rubber bullets cannot be bought on ebay! Punch in any word into many search engines http://www.google.com/search? q=portland+pepper+spray+rubber+bullets and at the top one will see that one can "buy" it on ebay. Shit, gold, happiness, despair, dogs, electro-magnetic radiation, anything at all. Total commodification.
