Because they are still considered lethal,less lethal. A lot of the time the rubber bullets have a metal core and are encased in rubber and they still hurt and cause serious damage to be hit by them. But the changes of dying,assuming center mass shot, is significantly lower than a bullet but there is still a risk. And you as a civilian should not be using less lethal anyway, it is not your job to be a peacekeeper. This may be bringing out my inner American, I have never shot/held a gun before and I would say I am more for gun control, but if you need to be bringing out some sort of fire arm to deescalate a situation than the situation would most likely call for deadly force. I am also talking about an actual situation and not someone knocked on my door or came up my driveway like these stories coming out now
