The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
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.
While I detest violence in all forms, and respect peaceful protest and the power of the ballot box; it seems like the current administration is doing everything it can to disenfranchise the voters of this country, and preemptively using violence against peaceful protesters. I hope things don’t tip too far, because while Americans don’t riot like the French at the drop of a hat, there is an enormous amount of anger simmering among the working class people in this country, and I’d hate to see that erupt. If it does come to a head it will make the Paris riots like a sunny day on Lake Geneva.
A large part of that working class is fully captive to the corporate media narratives, and voted for Trump last November. They support this.
They less support this, than the lies they were fed. His disapproval polling is clear on that
And yet, zero self-awareness to try to connect the actions to the outcome. If those same lies were fed to them in the exact same way, they will continue to do the same stupid thing.
If they're too busy worrying about where the next meal is coming from, can you blame them? I mean you can but surely that removes some of the blame
i hate how vague the term violence is, as it can mean so much as to make it useless.
protesting is a form of violence, it is meant to hurt the status quo. if the protests blocks a road or impedes trade and therefore there's some economical violence in there too.
but there's also violence in an unfair system that creates those protests. people are protesting ICE kidnapping and disappearing people with support of the state. that is a much worse violence than that being used in the protest.
and the "violent" police response, was violent, because he literally shot a reporter.
because the term is so vague, anti violence as a moral stance is meaningless.
C'mon, the camera was coming straight for him!
LAPD has right to defend themselves. she is lucky it was a rubber bullet.
IDF would have shot her in the head then bombed her house and kids school (with them in it).
well maybe in a few years, israel certainly are facing no consequences for a live streamed genocide. the same ultra rich scum are funding both, so they will certainly implement it here after successful trials abroad.
dude, this is a weirdly over the top response.
the cop probably mistook that ~~acorn~~ camera for a rocket launcher that you carry on your shoulders. they had legitimate reason to feel threatened.
Shitty piggy.
This wasn't a "stray round." That shot was deliberate and that pig knew exactly what he was aiming at.
The dude literally waited until he was on camera to take the shot. Not only did he know exactly what he was aiming at, he wanted to be seen doing it.
LA cops are notorious assholes. He could hardly wait to get home and pull it up the clip and show everybody: "Hey everybody! Look what Daddy did at work today! I shot an unarmed journalist for doing her job! Funny, right?"
Guaranteed he's emailing the clip to everyone he knows.
Isn't this assault?
That police officer is POS and knew exactly where he was aiming.
That police officer is POS
they all are
PIGS.
ACAB, notice how none of the officers next to this asshat did anything. They're all bastards.
If DFAT still don't update their travel advice after this...
Nah mate it's fine. Everything is totally cool and normal in the US, mate. The US is still a totally reliable ally and we're definitely going to get those submarines that we're paying billions for with no guarantees that we'll actually get any. Nothing to worry about, mate.
Not to mention those fancy jet fighters that burn up on the runway and can't fly in thunderstorms. Playing the long, long waiting game on those.
And a British one, too.

LAPD shot a protester in the head with rubber bullets and refused to call an ambulance for her as she lay there bleeding and concussed; another protester was trampled and concussed by mounted police; countless other protestors were beat over the head savagely with batons... and this is only what was on video.
NYpd and lapd are probably the most corrupt out there. LAPD has actual gang affiliations, some with white supremcesists.
California should pass a ballot initiative making it legal for any random person to shoot police with less lethal munitions whenever they want. You should just be able to walk up to any cop, any time you want, and shoot them with a rubber bullet. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.
People killed by the german police in 2024 (record year): 22 People killed by the police in the united states in 2022: 1176 Well i guess we only have 1/4 of the population so 50 times the number of deaths is normal is to be expected.
roughly 13 times the german record if you adjust for population. still fucked.
Even if the shot were accidental -> still not acceptable.
Not my face, the other brown people's face!
Surely that guy will now be fired and charged with assault? This was completely unwarranted.
Surely that guy will now be ~~fired~~ put on paid administrative leave and ~~charged with assault~~ given a lucrative job hosting a podcast?
Practically guaranteed.
