There’s zip about this in the Australian TV news this morning. One of their own and they still don’t have the balls.
Channel 9 reported it as her being "caught in the crossfire", as if she got hit in a gun battle between protesters and cops or something
Especially since you can see the cop in question pointing his weapon directly at her and her news crew.
Generally, that's the direction guns fire ;)
The part I find damning is that if you watch more of the video, that cop was absolutely watching her for a long time, and knew FOR SURE she was there and was press.
Besides just being a psycho pig or something similarly fucked up, the only reason I think that he could have done that is there was a car turning onto the road where she was and he wanted her to gtfo of the road. But even then, that's fucked up.
