    9news are framing this as “caught in the crossfire of violent protests”. Last time I checked, the police weren’t protesting. I fucking despise this world sometimes.

      9News is right leaning and has always sanewashed everything to do with Trump, along with the rest of the Australian mainstream media (which is all right wing, even the supposedly lefty ABC).

      But he really wanted to shoot someone, and is a cop. He probably got a promotion for keeping the peace.

      He was clearly shooting anyone in sight. This person had been facing the other way, no aggression.

      Quit your crocodile defense.

          You guys are so illiterate. One guy says cops suck. Another guy says “no, fuck you, cops suck.” And you just go off vibes. No ability to parse English. “Well he’s aggressively replying to someone hating cops, he must love them.”

            I’m glad you posted this. I was thinking “why are these people agreeing with each other so combatively?”

              Yeah if you assume people aren’t antagonistic it almost reads like they’re adding on / repeating the sentiment.

              “Stop with the lies. Police did x, y, z.”

              “Police did a, b, c. Stop the lies.”

              Definitely doesn’t sound like they’re playing up police in any case

      The cop turned around, sighted her in, and pulled the trigger. He had ample opportunity to see her microphone or the camera she was talking to.

      This was 1000% an intentional assault on the media.
