What's really weird is you can see the cop go through a thought process. Camera, reporter, fuck you, shoot.

The reality is as chaotic as it is you are safe with from other protesters. It's the cops who are shedding blood and pain. As much as the cops use "less then lethal devices" like a rubber bullet that will cave in your face on any mask a protester uses, while a protesters throw a rock at a helmet Kevlar wear or use a leaf blower on smoke grenade that is none lethal when cops use but now is lethal force after protesters counter it.

The cops are the agitation force. If you punch someone in the face retaliation is an expected outcome. Go fucking figure.

I think that round bounced off the ground and hit her. But I don't know what that idiot cop was doing firing in her direction in the first place. Don't they teach cops how to aim?

Thank goodness it wasn't in Palestine or an Israeli sniper would have deliberately shot her in the head. That's what they do to journalists, medical workers, women and children.

[msmissydc]

They detained a few reporters as well. Thats why I dont believe anyone who is saying the protesters made the first move. Otherwise pictures from news would show that. But you only see nationalmguard or po ice forces being the aggressors.
You have a dictator, Welcome to germany 1933 crazy to see history become reality. This time the dictator is actually german though, not like hitler who was austrian.

[FreyaRed]

You know, when you make an IQ test for job of a cop and your score is 120+, you will be very likely rejected because you could be a thread for your superiors. This scene show that very clearly, false feeling of impunity mixed with mental limitation.

[WindAtMyBack]

Reporters know what they are getting into. Reporters in war zones get shot and even killed. At least these are rubber or foam bullets. Not a big deal. If a reporter doesn't want to take those kind of chances they should stick to reporting on kitty cats that get stuck in trees.

[adventurous-1]

I think the officer that did the shooting should be punished for his criminal act, she was doing her job reporting for the news and not a threat to anyone but was fired upon with out just cause. There is no justification for his act of abuse and assault on an unarmed person clearly not posing a threat.

[bolverk]

The Australian television journalist Lauren Tomasi was hit in the leg by a rubber bullet Sunday while reporting live from down-town Los Angeles.

If Reporters are stupid enough to stand where they can get hit by rubber bullets if they are used by Police the its their own stupid fault.

That's Trump's America for you. Violence all the time which he encourages because the media doesn't kiss his ass like this is North Korea and he is the thinnest skinned man-child on the planet. What a pitiful excuse for a leader.

[OneViewpoint]

Hey tourists, come to America. Play "dodge bullet" with us. It's great fun for the whole family. Bring your mother in law. Bring that obnoxious uncle you can't stand. Bring that kid who's not exactly your favorite.

[Miristheiss]

LOL!

No start pelting those rioters burning cars, throwing rocks while waving a Mexico flag with a hail of those rubber bullets. Why are they just standing there letting them commit felonies. Go get the mother fuckers.

[Anonymous]

this summer is gonna be LIT! literally. fucking domestic terrorists trying to burn down more American cities and think everyone should just circle jerk to them. I'm watching these RIOTS on live stream, so media won't be bullshitting me into painting these terrorists as "mostly peaceful".

[contentious]

What do you think Trump traveled to Australian to try to assassinate a journalist? Are you retarded or something?

[contentious]

So what you have he is an L. A. PD officer who is under the command of Mayor Karen Bass (D) who let L. A. burn down last year to make a 15 minute city practicing Socialist tyranny. You lefties really are mentally retarded.

[Shiprex]

@contentious Nothing you've said here is accurate. THAT POS broke the FUCKING LAW but the Magat cult mind virus can't see the reality and instead make up shit lies and propaganda that is distraction

Palisades Fire reported January 2, 2025.

and so on...

[contentious]

Your commie leaders burnt your homes down to steal your land, destroyed your economy driving businesses out of the state, and created net population loss, now they are shooting your journalists and stripping you of your first amendment rights and you wonder why people voted for Trump to oppose you.

[Shiprex]

LOL The US economy was having it's best years BEFORE Trippy Don was pushed into the WH.

[contentious]

@Shiprex You’re so fucking retarded you can’t answer a yes or no question. Stick to the topic dipshit. Answer the question. Don’t run like your little sister when you tried to rape her.

[Shiprex]

You didn't ask one just went on a idiotic random incoherent rampage if nonsense that chatgpt is still eorking on to find out what your point is.

[contentious]

@Shiprex Like I said, you can't even answer a yes or no question. You're that retarded.

[Ariesman81]

I personally see calm and collected enforcement surrounded by a group of emotionally charged lunatics.

Stupid lying woman! He sent in the Marines!

[lightbulb27]

Be careful, it's LA.

How about peaceful protests so don't have to send in guards to protect police?

[andreasderjuengere]

I canceled watching this when I saw that little boy babbling. I saw him before - accidentally.

''News'' channels already are silly enough. I don't add ''news amateurs'' to this.

[Shiprex]

That cop should be put on trial for unnecessary use of force. It's also crime for police (and hence government) to attack civilians not engaged in crime.

[Shiprex]

The question you almost put is nothing to do with the actual post that this is on. When you Trumptards start to stick to a point and stay on topic then your question can maybe be formed more accurately without spelling errors and make sense.

[Wiredone]

They were only rubber bullets and she didn't get shot close range. She'll have a black and blue mark but no welt. It hurts more at close range. I know because I have a non lethal weapon and have been shot with it to test it out

[molonski2]

Saw this on TV , they aimed at her.

That's a serious line cross.

[NoDecision]

They used rubber bullets which are non-lethal. It is definitely better that the alternative.

[Jackblue]

She was a white woman, liberals are always complaining about white privilege, by your own words a white liberal getting shot evens things out.

[Jersey2]

I saw it. It’s funny. They were “telling” her to back the F up so to speak. She wasn’t wearing PRESS on her clothing.

[exitseven]

It was only a rubber bullet but I but I bet it will leave a mark.

[MrChinaski]

It has caused a minor diplomatic spat between Australia and the US. I'm sure that will blow over, but a formal protest has been lodged with the US Government. She wasn't just hit by a rubber bullet, but rather was targeted by an LAPD officer. I know police are pretty dumb on average, but that action seems particularly dumb.

[exitseven]

@bddddd I thought that reporters are supposed to go where the danger is?

[KennethNoisewater]

Breaking News: Trump wasn’t the one shooting people in the back.

[Anonymous]

Reporters aren't above the law. They have as much authority and the same rights as any other citizen.

[Still-alive]

So therefore that cop gets to shoot her? Huh?

[Opinion Owner]

@Still-alive standing in a riot sure

[Still-alive]

Lol you are so f’ed in the head.

Review the footage he clearly decided to carefully aim his gun at her.

[Opinion Owner]

@Still-alive should have dispressed

[Opinion Owner]

*Disperse*

[Still-alive]

Lol you are scum

[Anonymous]

If you are in the line of fire when law enforcement is doing its job you risk getting injured or shot. They know that. We all know that.

[Staximus]

She should have used her brain and not stood in front of instigators from both sides. She should have been on the side

What a deranged psychopath you are. But that's the left for you.

[jahaims]

It's a rubber bullet. Don't take in a job with hazards if you don't accept said hazards

[seeyounexttuesday]

Deport them all. And hang the people paying them.

[Anonymous]

No, but YOUR fall will, sick motherfucker!!!

[Godihateyou]

Lol. Australian news is famous for being fake. Should have used live rounds.

[molonski2]

What an utterly horrendous , disgraceful comment , you should be ashamed of yourself.

[Godihateyou]

Im absolutely not. Your lust for fake news is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself
