Pretty obvious that coward was looking at them before the camera panned over to him. Second reporter intentionally shot by US police today. Gotta wonder many unarmed people have to be murdered or reporters intentionally fired on for something to happen about the police in that place.
You can see it in the uncropped version
that one is way bettee I’m gonna append it to the post thanks!
Considering that the police in LA operate as actual gangs, highly unlikely anything ever changes with them.
Strip their funding and raise up some neighborhood militia, then dispand the fuckers. If they try anything butcher them.
Well… based on how many have been killed in Gaza by Israel, it will take more that 180
It’s important to note that the other police officers saw this happen and didn’t do anything to:
Stop the cop from shooting a reporter
Arrest the cop for shooting a reporter
Do anything to help the reporter
Also to note: This is a Sky “news” reporter, another version of Fox “news” both part of the Murdoch nazi media empire.
And that is a perfect example of why ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS
And anyone who says “it’s just one bad apple”, I submit to you that you require extea reading up on colloquialisms and old sayings, and more schooling to help comprehend the words you’re saying.
“one bad apple spoils the bunch”
If no one stops it from happening, they’re okay with it happening. If other cops just look away and say anything other than “hey guys, Connors just shot a reporter let’s go handcuff him and put him in the back of a car while contacting IA and our supervisors” then they’re just as guilty as the cop that shot the reporter.
The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
LAPD? The gang?
As much as I hate seeing our brave comrades getting shot up with rubber bullets and teargas, this kind of protest is exactly what needs to be happening in every city in the country. Fuck the police, fuck the fascist oligarchy, fuck the rich who have all conspired to divide and control us for millennia.
Same script than Argentina’s government. By luck, it’s been better in LA for now, let’s hope it doesn’t get worse. This is the well-trained and seasoned police department, I don’t want to think about the National Guard.
A good time to remind everybody that while rubber bullets are considered “non-lethal,” they can kill.
Back in 2004 a college student in Boston died from a bullet that missed its intended target, hit the ground and ricocheted into her eye.

So, while the shot certainly wasn’t warranted, IMO its worse because of what could have happened because this officer was taking a shot for fun.
Kind of a metaphor for corporate news catastrophically failing and allowing trump to exist not just once but twice
