   But up above you stated for fact:   
      
   "Correction: The police do not use Dum Dum like bullets. A Dum Dum was   
   designed to break apart on impact so as to maximise damage and make   
   treatment as difficult as possible.  Expanding ammo might have simply an all   
   lead bullet or one with an exposed lead tip that will cause it to expand and   
   minimise over penetration to reduce risk of injury to innocent people on the   
   other side of the criminal from the shooter."   
      
   Did you lie then or now?   
      
   BTW: Expanding bullets were given the name Dum-dum, or dumdum, after an   
   early British example produced in the Dum Dum Arsenal, near Calcutta,   
   India by Captain Neville Bertie-Clay. There were several expanding   
   bullets produced by this arsenal for the .303 British cartridge,   
   including soft point and hollow point designs.
