How is this not assault with a deadly weapon? She's there working, clearly not a threat.
That cop should be prosecuted.
-
It is. But do you see any other cops moving to arrest the shooter? This is why people say ACAB. Sure, some of them probably really do want to make positive change, but they don't actually take the actions against other officers required to allow for that change. They instead fall in line, which makes them just another part of the problem. Law enforcement finds it more important to show a united front, even if that front is squarely against the people, and even the law itself.

Cops merely protect the ones giving orders rather than the people, so it's not a big surprise. This is why anarchists believe that they should be abolished.
-
Don't worry. They will conduct an internal review, which will identify the officer at fault and punish him by having him go on paid vacation.

Qualified immunity; because there is no explicit guidance against police “shooting blonde, female Australian news reporters live on the air while covering an LA protests against ICE on a weekend” - he will be let off with a stern talking to, and a wink.

Australia is hamas
-
they're using blonde reporters as human shields !!!

It's clearly on purpose too. The camera pans to look at the (masked) cops and one deliberately shoots at them. Fuck the Orange Jackass, Stephen Miller, and everyone else involved in this mess. The soldiers should have refused the orders and arrested the criminal bastards.

Reminder that a rubber bullet is mainly metal with a thin layer of rubber around it...

The reporter isn't the only one who has gotten shot for non-violent protesting / reporting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlxSsceOOX4&t=149s in the video, they emphasize that "officers taking aim with weapons, shooting rubber bullets indiscriminately at anyone in their path" (1:56)
-
sounds like violent protest is the way forward

someone should bring democracy to this god-forgotten country.

I can't be sure, but it almost looks like the cop who shot her bent over laughing after. Watch them closely, the smoke nearly hides it. They take a split second like, "Should I do it?" then haul up and fire. Then it looks like, "Aw, I only shot her in the leg as a joke." Innocent prank, I'm sure... cunts.

The IOF has taught the LAPD well.

It’s so sad to see what’s happening to this country. So sad.

Some of us are old enough to remember when Obama sent in the army to quell the Michael Brown race riots.

Clearly she was holding an unknown blue-ish weapon of sorts and was prepared to mask her face.
-
G'day!

-

-

They keep talking about running fucking Kamala Harris again. Last dipshit poll i saw on reddit had them choosing her or Buttigieg Just fucking kill us already
-
Gavin Newsom will declare full cooperation with ICE and then cinch the Democratic primary
(is there a /s for "not sarcastic but i would do so much to avoid this)
-
I'm just surprised you're not blaming Obama.
