Comment on I've hated donald trump since day one but then I saw this and thought....
HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks agoTrump is using the military to occupy a city that hates him. He wants to deport a lot of people, but the city isn’t having it so protests have emerged.
From what I’ve seen, four self driving taxies was burned (the car on the image) by protestors, while the police intentionally shot a news reporter, used a horse to trample a detained protestor, and has deployed marines to the streets.

Saw news report claiming the deportation was a rumor, the op never happened. Lemmy shows otherwise, what’s real?

Its not that they’re self driving; it’s that they’re covered in cameras and the cops have live access.

It’s worse than that. The waymos were originally ordered by protesters wishing to leave the area. Sheriff didn’t like that, so they asked waymo directly to lock down the cars so they couldn’t be used to “flee the area”. Waymo complied and stranded people in the middle of this mess, and the crowd decided to help them out and express their displeasure at waymo for capitulation to the gestapo. I hope whatever insurance waymo has denies all their claims and forces them to eat the loss.

I have not seen this information anywhere, it should be brought to attention more.
Everywhere it is “rioters ordered the waymos, they arrived empty and then were set on fire”.
LordGimp@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Technically correct, but definitely missing context. I picked it up watching FilmThePoliceLA Sunday when he was talking to people around the waymos before thy were set on fire.

I wasn’t claiming a reason why they did it, just wanted to highlight how much worse the police’s response has been.
