The pig sees her, turns, aims, and shoots her almost point blank.
There’s zip about this in the Australian TV news this morning. One of their own and they still don’t have the balls.
Channel 9 reported it as her being "caught in the crossfire", as if she got hit in a gun battle between protesters and cops or something
Especially since you can see the cop in question pointing his weapon directly at her and her news crew.
Not my face, the other brown people's face!
Only a matter of time before someone shoots back.
Shitty piggy.
While I detest violence in all forms, and respect peaceful protest and the power of the ballot box; it seems like the current administration is doing everything it can to disenfranchise the voters of this country, and preemptively using violence against peaceful protesters. I hope things don’t tip too far, because while Americans don’t riot like the French at the drop of a hat, there is an enormous amount of anger simmering among the working class people in this country, and I’d hate to see that erupt. If it does come to a head it will make the Paris riots like a sunny day on Lake Geneva.
i hate how vague the term violence is, as it can mean so much as to make it useless.
protesting is a form of violence, it is meant to hurt the status quo. if the protests blocks a road or impedes trade and therefore there's some economical violence in there too.
but there's also violence in an unfair system that creates those protests. people are protesting ICE kidnapping and disappearing people with support of the state. that is a much worse violence than that being used in the protest.
and the "violent" police response, was violent, because he literally shot a reporter.
because the term is so vague, anti violence as a moral stance is meaningless.
A large part of that working class is fully captive to the corporate media narratives, and voted for Trump last November. They support this.
They less support this, than the lies they were fed. His disapproval polling is clear on that
And yet, zero self-awareness to try to connect the actions to the outcome. If those same lies were fed to them in the exact same way, they will continue to do the same stupid thing.
If they're too busy worrying about where the next meal is coming from, can you blame them? I mean you can but surely that removes some of the blame
no valid video. Do I have something configured wrong?
Mine does that too, click the title link and it will open in a new window/tab with the video.
C'mon, the camera was coming straight for him!
the cop probably mistook that ~~acorn~~ camera for a rocket launcher that you carry on your shoulders. they had legitimate reason to feel threatened.
If DFAT still don't update their travel advice after this...
Nah mate it's fine. Everything is totally cool and normal in the US, mate. The US is still a totally reliable ally and we're definitely going to get those submarines that we're paying billions for with no guarantees that we'll actually get any. Nothing to worry about, mate.
Not to mention those fancy jet fighters that burn up on the runway and can't fly in thunderstorms. Playing the long, long waiting game on those.
That police officer is POS and knew exactly where he was aiming.
That police officer is POS
they all are
PIGS.
ACAB, notice how none of the officers next to this asshat did anything. They're all bastards.
