This is why armed protests are effective.
Police don’t shoot at armed people nearly as often.
Because the people, equipped with the tools to defend themselves, might decide to defend themselves
That idiot thinks he is playing fucking paintball but rubber bullets can permanently injure people including causing blindness or head trauma.
Can we all just let America eat itself? Like, give it a few years to turn into fallout and then we can actually go in and fix it when the baddies eat each other? /S
How is this not an international incident?
Was it a rubber bullet or a rubber coated steel bullet?
Because if its the latter, we should charge for attempted murder. Those are lethal bullets.
Rubber bullets are “less than lethal” ammunition. They can still seriously injure, permanently maim, and even kill. Cops have been known to target eyes and other vulnerable points to increase damage. If that sadism doesn’t horrify and disgust you, you’re not paying attention. So yeah, this should be prosecuted as a blatant attack on an obvious potentially deadly attack on a reporter…
Every fucking jerk off there had a camera and claims to be press. Yet I’m sure some under paid, over worked cop dealing with a bunch of idiots knows every reporter and news agency on the planet.
Fucked up, yes. But how the fuck is the cop supposed to be know who is who.

You realize that makes it worse, right? How the cop is shooting at someone who he has not identified as a threat?
Underpaid and overworked cops?? LOL! 40% of my city budget goes to police. Over 50% of the police force makes over $100,000 a year. The other 50% are close to it. They sit on their ass and look at everyone with disdain, that’s overwork. When I had a car stolen and I gave them hd footage of the theft, suspects, everything. They couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to care.
Anyways who the fuck do you think you’re kidding with this “underpaid cops” bullshit.
Disgusting, servile boot locker.
Why is the cop standing there in your opinion? To shoot everyone except the press?
Look, the cop was just standing there assaulting people with a deadly weapon when this monster slowly stood there in the street talking into a camera. The sun was in his eyes and he could hardly register if she was a black trans person, the best course of action following his training was to try to remotely tap that ass without consent so he might be able to get a better view of her face. Besides she was Australian which basically means she’s a terrorist viololently invading our precious countryside. Long hair, that’s pretty much a mask for the back of your head, and masks are banned from protests, an admission of guilty one might say. Besides, any respectable woman would have been at home in the kitchen providing for her man. Harlots everywhere
I dont know which country you’re from, but in the US, everyone with a camera legally is press
Watch the video again and ask yourself, was he in danger or just being a tyrannical pig?
Rubber coated metal.
This is the USA 🤦
Abolish the Frozen Water Gestapo, and fuck the police
Someone cropped this to a vertical aspect. Here is the uncropped version that someone posted in another thread. You can see the cop much earlier in the video. He’s just looking around and suddenly decides to raise his weapon and shoot her.
Thanks for this.
Fuck whatever morons keep unnecessarily editing footage.
If you look at the overlay, it was the channel themselves, as they probably posted it on social media. So it‘s not really unnecessarily cropped if they themselves serve different channels with different aspect ratios.
This dude…
Someone knows exactly who that pig is, they should gut the whole department till he’s identified
They’re coming right for us!
Land of the free, ladies and gentleman.
Hey America are we great yet?
Republicans are salivating at the thought of being able to shoot minorities and women. So in their mind yes 😭
Exactly. This is a wet dream of far too many wingnut jagoffs. They’ll mutter some bullshit about needing to burn it all down, cull the herd, and other very stupid things. Naturally, they think they will come out ahead as a result because of superior genetics or some such shit.
Also a lot of prepper dumbasses think their little pop guns will help them in some kind of major civil war/apocalypse, etc…
And the people who report openly and honestly what they are doing. In this case it was a toofer…
AKA, the “fake news”.
No, it will get greater yet!
100% that cop is a misogynistic pig
That cop did it intentionally, he wants to be promoted to the big guys, idf.
He waited until he was in frame.
They’re taking pointers from the Israelis.
“Those rioters were advancing in a menacing fashion. The police were fearing for their lif…”
“Sir. It was one person.”
“The rioter was advancing in a menacin…”
“It wasn’t a rioter. It was a reporter.”
“The reporters were advancing in a menacing fashio…”
“It was just one. A singular woman reporter. Who was talking to a camera.”
“So there were at least two of them? Reporter and camera person”
“…yeah. I guess.”
“Those rioters were advancing in a menacing fashion, possibly armed with RPG’s and dirty nuclear bombs. The police were fearing for their life and reacted as they were trained and shot her in the back. We have investigated and found that they did nothing wrong.”
