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.

    Considering that the police in LA operate as actual gangs, highly unlikely anything ever changes with them.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Kind of a metaphor for corporate news catastrophically failing and allowing trump to exist not just once but twice

    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.
