Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation.

  the cop probably mistook that acorn camera for a rocket launcher that you carry on your shoulders. they had legitimate reason to feel threatened.

  LAPD has right to defend themselves. she is lucky it was a rubber bullet.

  IDF would have shot her in the head then bombed her house and kids school (with them in it).

  well maybe in a few years, israel certainly are facing no consequences for a live streamed genocide. the same ultra rich scum are funding both, so they will certainly implement it here after successful trials abroad.

      Is it? That’s exactly the kind of rhetoric used to defend Israel, and bombing schools with kids in them is exactly what they do. American police train with the IDF. That kind of brutality we support abroad comes home eventually.
