You can’t just shoot people that aren’t breaking any laws. Press or not.
What they’ll lie and tell you is that a gathering can be declared illegal, but that’s bullshit. If I’m standing there peacefully and someone else does something illegal I have not violated the law. I should not be guilty by association and I should not be stripped of my rights to peacefully assemble.
This is a lie they’ve been telling us for centuries to silence dissent
This dude is out here defending the police for every situation that happens in LA. They are pretending to be leftist but are actually a Nazi apologist. When I called them out for it they immediately jumped into my DMs and started threatening violence, fascist Nazi apologist 101.
I’m stating the reality of the situation with fascist in the federal government and cops knowing they won’t be punished. I was watching live and seen this happen over and over ppl gotta be smarter here. (here for me is near LA)
His left leg as he was facing about 45 deg away from the cops is what i saw. he had just turned to face that way when got shot. If you’re thinking of the Australian reporter that’s different
Would be far more viable had the Australian press not also been shot.
You’d think the microphone and news camera crew would give away the fact that they’re press, but I guess not. The PRESS identification is generally seen worn by war correspondents, rather than standadd press (they use lanyards moreso than flak jackets).
That being said; there is definitely an argument to be made that the US should be receiving war correspondents rather than standard journalists; and journalists being shot on camera definitely strengthens that argument.
Standing still in front of a television camera man with nothing else around you, holding a microphone and talking in to the camera, while a fascist police calmly raises their gun in full view of the camera and shoots you in the back from about 10 yards away?
Also she was a woman.
…or are we talking about ANOTHER journalist they shot today? Surely there weren’t two?!
How many innocent people are they shooting, I wonder? How many are being disappeared to the American Gulags of El Salvador without a trial? The journalists at least have a voice, the others won’t be so lucky.
You’re thinking of the Australian woman who i also saw get shot live the next day (yesterday). The guy in the thumbnail is who I’m talking about and was the night prior

Top tier victim blaming, my friend.

If you were there he wouldn’t do or say a thing.

Source here says back of the thigh. Was wearing his press pass around his neck and his camera.
I haven’t seen the video, but you’re saying he’d just turned.
Reading between the lines here - if he’d been slower turning, or not turned at all, that bullet would have been much closer to his testicles.
Before someone says I’m reaching:
I don’t know. I don’t see any shades of gray here, just black and more black.

Sending war journos would definitely send a message.
